Publishing in Nature Sustainability: Chemistry, Technology, and Materials Science
From the biophysical, institutional, behavioral, cultural and policy dimensions of natural resource management, all the way through to functional materials development, and engineering innovations, Nature Sustainability offers an exceptionally broad range of topics to its readership. Without restrictions on the methods used, we believe that any study can potentially contribute to global sustainable development - provided it addresses questions that can advance the sustainability discourse. In chemistry, technology, and materials science, the research questions must always consider how relevant any developed technology is to real-world factors. This can be done, for example, by checking the proposed innovation under more realistic operating conditions, conducting a techno-economic analysis or a life cycle assessment, or investigating the technological and economic scaling potential. Not every study will offer a complex and fully developed ready-to-implement solution, but by taking this extra step, research efforts can contribute to enhance the well-being of current and future generations within the limits of the natural world.
We look forward to an inspiring guest lecture!
