Swedish Life Cycle Center

The center has a history of more than 20 years and has become a credible, well known platform for life cycle experts in Sweden. It was founded as CPM in 1996 as a joint effort between Nutek (later VINNOVA), Chalmers University of Technology and a range of international companies. Over the years the center has concluded eight stages with different focus areas and partner constellations but the focus on applied life cycle thinking has remained as its base.

Swedish Life Cycle Center is an immaterial organization with the human resources and excellence distributed among the partners. Chalmers University of Technology is hosting the Center with Technology Management and Economics (TME) as host department. The permanent organization consists of a Board (each Partner represented), Preparatory Board, Scientific Advisory Group and a Technical Secretariat (run by a Director and Project manager(s)). Committees, working groups, expert groups and project groups are established by the Board.
