Issues affecting the environment represent some of the major threats for our planet: they are constantly worsening at an unexpected pace difficult to keep up with and Its consequences are more evident and clearer everyday – humanity has to take action. In this scenario, emerging technologies for developing eco-friendly solutions in different fields are the necessary keys to invest in. Materials science stands at the base of promising strategies in different fields of outmost relevance, from energy production and storage, to biodegradable and recycling materials.
Innovation Forum Lausanne is proud to be part of the movement towards sustainable development by carrying out its activities according to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year's Annual Conference will focus on Materials for Sustainability.
