The Laudato Si’-Institute for integral ecology conducts academic research from an integral and trans-disciplinary perspective in the area of environmental sustainability and justice. Not only chemical, technical and biological aspects, but also political, economic, philosophical, and spiritual dimensions of the ecological crisis are included in our research projects.
