AAU-researchers develop new ideas for adressing environmental challenges
By David Graff, ENGINEERING Dean Secretariat, and Simona Padurariu, AAU Innovation.
The research in environmental technology, nature and biodiversity at The Faculty of Engineering and Science is rich and is conducted from different perspectives across all departments. The research areas comprise subjects such as:
- Adaptation to stressful environments
- Biorefinery concepts
- Insects as food and feed
- Alternatives to pesticides
- Bioacoustic monitoring of vocal animals
- Gully pots as biodiversity trap
- Marine ecosystems
- Sustainable fisheries
- Sustainble buidlings and cities.
At the workshop, researchers presented their current projects and focus areas and engaged in lively network discussions about future projects concerning e.g. conservation of biodiversity in both terrestrial, marine, and freshwater systems, development of new tools and smart solutions (including drones and eDNA) for monitoring the environmental status, and securing the use of microbes to ensure a good environment and drinking water.
As a mission-oriented university focusing on sustainability, we depend on the innovative strength of our research groups. The workshop leaves no doubt that Engineering’s research groups possess strong expertise that supports the technological development and that this outlines very promising future research areas.
