Inventory of Material Flow Analysis Activities

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.

Research & Development Agenda for Material Flow Analisys

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

The ConAccount network

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..
