This is especially true for complex collaborative R&D projects with multiple partners. We have found that there is an increasing need for simple methods that enable partners in such R&D projects to guide them towards sustainability-oriented innovations (SOI). In response, we have developed a methodology called Integrated Innovation and Sustainability Analysis (IISA). It is based on the early involvement of stakeholders, along with a sustainability assessment of the planned innovation to provide feedback loops into technology development. The overall goal of the method is to improve the potential impact on sustainability in the three dimensions: economic, environmental, and social. The IISA method and its application in two collaborative R&D projects with several research and industry partners that serve as practical examples, is presented and discussed in this paper. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 37-50 %8 02/2020 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1328 %N 2 %1 Institute for Industrial Ecology Johannes Gasde is a Research Associate at the Institute for Industrial Ecology (INEC) - a research institute at Pforzheim University in Germany. As an industrial engineer he holds the degree MSc Life Cycle and Sustainability. He is currently working in the BMBF-funded MaReK project on a technology innovation in plastics sorting and recycling. His research interests are sustainable innovation and technology management as well as sustainability assessment for new technologies. He joined the INEC in 2018. %2 Institute for Industrial Ecology Philipp Preiss is also a Research Associate at INEC. In 2002, he received a diploma and a MSc. degree in Environmental Engineering at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) and University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UK), respectively. Until 2013 he worked at the Institute of Energy Economics and Rational Energy Use (IER), University of Stuttgart. His research covered mainly the development and application of life cycle impact assessment methodologies and the estimation of external costs with a focus on air pollutants emission due to energy converting technologies. From 2014 till 2016 he worked at the European Institute for Energy Researcher (EIFER). He was involved in the research project ene.field regarding the sustainability assessment of fuel cell micro-combined heat and power. Since 2017 he is working at the INEC. %3 Pforzheim University Dr. Claus Lang-Koetz is a professor for Sustainable Technology and Innovation Management at the Business School of Pforzheim University (since 2014). He is conducting publicly and privately funded research projects at INEC. Claus studied Environmental Engineering and Water Resources Engineering and Management at the University of Stuttgart, the University of Utah and Montana State University in the USA. He then worked in applied research for nine years at the University of Stuttgart (Institute for Human Factors and Technology Management) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO where he was head of the research group Innovative Technologies. He received his doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) in 2006 at the University of Stuttgart. From 2009-2014, he was Head of Innovation Management at an international plant equipment and systems provider based in Böblingen, Germany. %& 37 %R http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1328
