Research

Shaping the future

Research relevant to sustainability creates understanding, analyzes interrelationships, identifies problem areas and develops the solution principles of our time. You too can help shape the sustainable future of our country with your ideas!

Research at BOKU concentrates in six fields of competence on the protection and sustainable use of our natural resources. We try to anticipate and solve practical problems. Internationality as well as inter- and transdisciplinarity are very important to us.
