摘要
Life sciences universities (LSUs) play a specific role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A number of SDGs address topics that have been focal points for LSUs throughout their history of research, teaching and societal mission. Furthermore, LSUs traditionally have strong links to stakeholders central to the transformative process, such as the food sector, forestry and renewable energies. However, life sciences universities and the university system will have to undergo transformations if they want to contribute to a profound shift in societies.
