FSLCI is thrilled to announce the inaugural Indian Conference on Life Cycle Insights for Sustainability (LCIS 2026), and we couldn’t be more excited to support the Indian life cycle community in coming together on a dedicated national platform. Born out of the enthusiastic participation and excellent feedback from our seminar “Scaling Sustainability through Life Cycle Thinking” held in Bengaluru in October 2025, LCIS 2026 is a direct response to our community’s strong desire for an Indian forum — and we are proud to make it a reality.
The conference is jointly organized by FSLCI, the Goa Institute of Management (GIM), and the Council for Research on Policy and Governance (CRPG). It takes place on September 11–12, 2026 at GIM, Sanquelim Goa — with virtual attendance also available — and will bring Indian and global life cycle communities together for a curated experience of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and innovation. LCIS 2026 will explore five key themes: Technology use in LCA; Life Cycle education; LCA methodology developments; An Indian roadmap for scaling up LCT/LCM/LCA; and Moving beyond product LCAs. Much like FSLCI’s LCIC series in Berlin, the event will feature sessions and workshops designed to spark dialogue and foster real connections among researchers, practitioners, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers.
GIM’s scenic Goa setting is more than a beautiful backdrop — the region’s active engagement with sustainability challenges around coastal management, tourism, and climate resilience makes it a fitting home for this conference. GIM has developed a sustainable events framework, and the organizers are committed to leading by example with a low-impact event.
The call for abstracts and workshop proposals is now open, with a submission deadline of May 31, 2026. We warmly invite changemakers, innovators, and sustainability champions to submit their ideas and help shape a diverse, community-driven program. Save the date, submit your abstract, and join us in Goa — or virtually — for this landmark event!
