Scientific organisations as drivers of transformation towards sustainability
If scientific organisations want to provide effective impulses for sustainable development, they need to ask themselves questions such as: What societal goals and purposes do we have? How can we help develop the science system to enable it to better promote transformation towards sustainability? How must we transform our own organisation? The search for answers triggers internal learning processes and a reflection on science as a whole.
