Sustainable development: a challenge for European research
On the eve of the Competitiveness Council, more than 600 scientists, representatives from NGOs and industry, and R&D policy makers will exchange their views and stakes on what R&D can and cannot do for sustainability throughout the whole spectrum of sectors: energy, transport, agriculture, material science, social sciences, health research, etc. They will discuss frankly and openly the many ways in which European research contributes to global sustainable development: improved understanding of the environment, technological solutions, changing mindsets and behaviours, bearing in mind that research is also at the root of unsustainable trends.
The conference “Sustainable development: a challenge for European research” is organised by the European Commission Directorate-General for Research in collaboration with the Czech Presidency of the EU.
