Workshops 2019: Priority topics for research in sustainable development
In the view of experts from science and practice, what are the problem areas on the path to sustainable development that science should address? Where do they think it would be useful to jointly develop new understandings, alternative models of thought and options for action? Where can we build new partnerships together? These questions were discussed in two workshops in 2019:
28 August 2019 at the University of Lausanne
30 August 2019 at the University of Zurich
Together with research institutions, the SCNAT's Sustainability Research Initiative invites experts to different Sustainability Science Dialogues to exchange ideas on priorities for sustainability research. At this event organised together with the University of Zurich, we will discuss the role of science 30 years after “Rio” and the specific challenges and opportunities for research at the University of Zurich against the background of the Academies’ research priorities.

The priority theme «Thriving Spaces - Sustainability and Spatial Development» was discussed in a workshop session at the World Biodiversity Forum in Davos on 29.06.2022. The second World Biodiversity Forum brought together researchers across all disciplines of biodiversity science with practitioners and societal actors in a forum that offers inspiration and examples for actions and solutions to conserve biodiversity, and set us un a path towards transformation for sustainability.
The Sustainability Science Forum 2022 addresses the future of research for sustainable development. How can science evolve to most effectively support societal change towards sustainability?
