We have set the task of establishing sustainability management in our administration. Also, we are addressing the challenges faced by society with our research expertise in space, aeronautics, energy and transport, security and digitalisation. This is in line with the policy objectives of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is also how we define research in sustainability.
The expertise of our project management agencies contributes to the SDGs through research funding, government consultancy, international cooperation and through dialogue with policymakers, the scientific sector, business and society. Our research creates knowledge in the form of patents, publications and licences, and our research findings support and promote social transformation.
A total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals are set out in the UN's 2030 Agenda. They are intended to enable people to live with dignity while preserving the natural basis for life by ensuring sustainable development. The goals below are particularly relevant to us, as many of our research projects contribute to them.
