The purpose of the SPIRIT project is to increase companies' capabilities for developing competitive products that contribute to a sustainable society. SPIRIT includes three subprojects with a focus on: (1) Business opportunities and risks in society's transition
to sustainability; (2) Assessment of products' sustainability performance and (3) User-centered and visualization-based digitalization of tools for sustainable product development. The PhD student for this position will focus on point (3) while also interacting
with the other subprojects. By synergistically integrating the results from the subprojects, we will provide industry with a set of conceptually coherent and digitalized tools for effective early phases sustainable product innovation work.</div>
