The Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) has outlined the most urgent need for research on sustainability on the basis of six priority topics. To address these research needs, the aim of this event was to highlight the topics to which the University of Fribourg can contribute, and identif the open questions it intends to address.

The Sustainability Science Dialogue event on November 18 2021 at the University of Fribourg centred around decarbonisation, societal values and alternative economic systems. It was followed by the inauguration of the Environmental Sciences and Humanities Institute (UniFR_ESH Institute) – the designated new home for work on these issues.

We thank all our participants and SCNAT for the interesting discussions!
