Objective: Integrating sustainability into the university’s research–innovation process and the development of solutions with impact on building a sustainable society.

 Directions of action:

• maintaining and developing existing centers (CERNESIM, RAMTECH, RECENTAIR, SIDNER) and establishing new interdisciplinary centers focused on both fundamental and applied research in the field of sustainable development;
• creating and implementing funding programs dedicated to sustainability-related research directions (themes);
• strengthening existing academic partnerships (e.g., EC2U) and developing new strategic partnerships at international, national, regional, and local levels on sustainability-related topics;
• encouraging technology transfer through the creation of an incubator for start-ups dedicated to young researchers and oriented toward environmental solutions;
• introducing an annual system for monitoring and evaluating the integration of sustainability within the university’s research and development ecosystem.
