The Platform for a Sustainable Future at Örebro University, PSF@ORU, aims to contribute to an inclusive welfare society that is mindful of the limits of the earth’s ecosystems. With equality, safety and security, health, chemical safety, limited climate impact, a balanced economy, biodiversity and quality of life as our guiding stars, we are mobilising sustainability expertise from within education, research and collaboration to work together and ultimately find a way towards a sustainable future.

Chemicals, environment and health

Chemicals are necessary in our society. How can we use them without harming humans or the environment?

Health and well-being

By introducing healthy habits from the start for a good, sustainable life, we can buffer against problems that we later in life attempt to curb with medication.

Planetary economics

The goal is an economy that does not exploit our natural resources and affords everyone the chance at a good life.

Food systems

We work with research from farm to fork and back again. Food systems are made up of complex interactions between people, goods and the environment.
