            Charles University, as an important research institution, can greatly contribute to sustai

            through its research activities. The university aims for the strategic application of adva
            and innovation, the rapid and successful implementation of research findings, as well as f
            interdisciplinary academic discussion on current topics and challenges both within and out

            Republic.

            There are numerous topics across all faculties and institutes, ranging from nanomaterials,

            drought, space, the impacts of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, to healthy lifestyles, ecolo
            quality education, medical care, and legal issues concerning the environment. The wide ran

            cultivated at the university offers immense potential for interdisciplinary research. Sust
            development has its place in both basic and applied research and is supported by universit
            European, and international grant schemes. The university also promotes open access [ URL 

            openscience.cuni.cz/OSCIEN-10.html"] to research results and data [ URL "https://openscien
            OSCIEN-50.html"] , as evidenced by the recently established Centre for the Support of Open
            "https://openscience.cuni.cz/OSCIEN-1.html"]


            For example, the potential of interdisciplinarity is leveraged by the Progres Q16 Programm
            Research. This is one of 50 projects supported by the university's Progres grant scheme, w

            approaches and methodologies. Over 100 academic and scientific staff and approximately ten

            participate in this research project each year.

            The topic of sustainable development is an integral part of modern economics: from issues 

            allocation to recommendations for government and economic policies. Therefore, CERGE-EI at
            University addresses many problems that at least indirectly relate to sustainable developm
            great potential to develop this area, provided that appropriate resources are allocated. A

            research topics are studies focused on the relationships between environmental pollution, 
            migration, and deforestation in developing countries.


            For example, at the Faculty of Pharmacy, research is conducted on the over-prescription, p
            improper use of pharmaceuticals, which can lead to excessive accumulation and often incorr
            Besides the direct impact on the environment, the research also addresses the unjustified 

            pharmaceuticals by manufacturers.
