Sustainability

Implementing sustainability in academic research

Nature Reviews Bioengineering volume 1, page 160 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

In 2015, the United Nations have established 17 Sustainable Development Goals, with the aim to end poverty and other deprivations, improve health and education, reduce inequality and spur economic growth, while tackling climate change and preserving our oceans and forests. Bioengineering research can contribute to achieving these goals, not only by engineering platforms and tools to improve human health and address environmental issues, but, importantly, by making academic research more sustainable. Now, writing in the Journal of Controlled Release, Gregor Fuhrmann outlines several strategies to implement sustainable approaches in bioengineering research.
