PANORAMA: Towards a comprehensive global physical materials & products input-output database @ Raw Materials Week 2018
14 November 2018 at 14:00 - 15:30
The PANORAMA project (Physical AccouNts Of RAw MAterial stock and flow Information Service) is an innovation project funded by the EIT RawMaterials that will start on 1 January 2019. Project partners are Leiden University/CML, TNO, Fraunhofer, BRGM, GEUS, Ghent University, UNU, University of Bordeaux.
The EU lacks a comprehensive, consistent and balanced supply chain and stock-flow materials database for many materials, let alone one compatible with economic statistics like input-output tables.
The EIT RawMaterials is in an excellent position to support DG JRC in expanding the coverage of the RMIS, which in turn can help the EIT RawMaterials and the wider community to prioritize improvement options including new EIT RawMaterials Community projects for materials management. The PANORAMA project will create the aforementioned database.
We will build upon the EXIOBASE string of projects, PROSUM, MICA, ORAMA, and closely coordinate our research with JRC to align with RMIS. During the Raw Materials Week 2018, we organise a short information workshop on the project. The aim is to have an exchange with stakeholders on what user needs could be covered by the database. Also, scientific and technical aspects can be discussed.
Location: Hotel Manhattan on Wednesday, 14 November, 14:00-15:30, 1 minute North of the Raw Materials Week 2018 venue.
Target Participants
Environmental scientists on MFA, IOA, LCA, users of material flow information like waste management companies, statistical experts, material users.
