Framing the Sustainability Dialogue in Research

Abstract In this article, we revisit the key aspects that bring in the “sustainability” factor in research by discussing views and experiences on the human interactions and sociotechnical and socioeconomic dimensions of research in relation to the promotion of sustainable development. Real-life issues and their inherent complexities seldom match the traditional disciplinary approaches in applied scientific and technological research designed to study a specific problem and provide solutions to it. The concept of “sustainability” in an applied sciences context is a policy- and action-oriented multidimensional one involving economic security, social well-being, and environmental quality. For these reasons, academic researchers collaborating extensively in multidisciplinary research and projects have to respond to the specific requirements of an issue, if well-thought and adapted solutions have to be developed. This article addresses the salient components connecting research and sustainability in a fresh and holistic manner.
