Deliverables
The original static list of institutions and experts working on MFA was substituted by the ConAccount website: http://www.conaccount.net
Here you will find contributors and observers, experts and institutions, documents, project descriptions, literature, announcements and links.
Summary:
Future needs and priorities of MFA research have been defined and agreed upon through an interactive process. The "Research & Development Agenda for MFA" is one major outcome of the concerted action ConAccount.
On the occasion of the ConAccount Conference (held in Wuppertal from 10 - 12 September 1997) the participants were asked to rank the issues of the draft research agenda. The following issues were ranked first:
- Analyses of the interlinkages of material flows and economic development
- Development of a general framework of MFA methodology
- Review and further studies on the assessment of the environmental impacts of material flows
- Improving the use of MFA for the political process
- Further development and establishment of material flow indicators
- Further development of MFA in national, European and international statistics
Exploitable results
The ConAccount network was established.It is a network of institutions and experts working on Material Flow Analysis (MFA).
The basic objectives of ConAccount are:
- To support the information exchange between the scientists developing MFA and the users of the results.
- To provide the basis for the development of a coherent framework of MFA methodology.
- To promote the use of MFA for statistics and policy.
The Inventory of MFA Activities comprises information on approximately 160 MFA projects based on a survey. Furthermore, it shows the essential information (address, contact persons, etc.) of approximately 100 institutions. Since November 1997 the revised inventory has been available on the Internet page http://www.wupperinst.org/Seiten/Abteilungen/umwelt_projekte.html. For latest information on ConAccount see http://www.conaccount.net. Further information on http://www.wupperinst.org/Sites/Projects/material-flow-analysis/index.html.
At the moment the ConAccount inventory comprises 99 institutions from 20 countries. The participating institutions can be distributed into 44 contributors and 55 observers..
