Abstract

The relationship between science and society is constantly evolving due to the continuous challenges arising from humankind development. Given the global environmental degradation processes, social pressure has increased on the academic sector committed to the creation of theoretical and practical knowledge, which supports sustainable management of natural resources and corresponding development. In this context, during the nineties, new scientific disciplines appeared with a systemic, synthetic and humanistic vision. Development of such disciplines required novel human and logistical capabilities. Specialized laboratories equipped with the necessary means to encourage the formulation of proposals and solutions addressing sustainability challenges arisen. The aim of this paper is to highlight the relevance of sustainability laboratories in current scientific work, and their abilities to facilitate a closer relationship between science and society within a framework of sustainability.
