ICBAS is committed to making the world a better place, promoting organizational well-being and the progress of society.
As a health school, ICBAS is strongly aligned with U.Porto's commitment to sustainability.
This culture is implicit in day-to-day life in a very particular way in terms of the research themes with which the school is involved, which have the major global challenges in the areas of life sciences and health at their core.
On the other hand, ICBAS is aligned with U.Porto's commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations under the 2030 Agenda, of which the following stand out:
- Quality health (SDG 3);
- Gender equality and reducing inequalities (SDGs 5 and 10);
- Decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDGs 8 and 9);
- Sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11);
- Renewable and affordable energy and climate action (SDGs 7 and 13);
- Protect marine life and terrestrial life (SDGs 14 and 15).
