PROSUITE

The main goal of PROSUITE is to develop a coherent, scientifically sound, and widely accepted methodology for the sustainability assessment of current and future technologies over their life cycle. This project will be specific by delivering actual sustainability estimates for four technology cases with close consultation of the stakeholders involved. The project will show (i) how to combine technology forecasting methods with life cycle approaches, (ii) how to develop and combine the three sustainability dimensions in a standardized, comprehensive, and feasible way.
 
The project started in November 2009, therefore it is too early to evaluate the work. The first step has been the review of the literature associated with sustainability indicators. The MTA SZKI team is expected to explore social sustainability indicators of new technologies, with special regard to the Central-East European context.
