Abstract

The Laboratório Associado para a Química Verde | Associated Laboratory for Green Chemistry, LAQV, is the Portuguese Research Centre for Sustainable Chemistry, a key component of an imperative World Sustainable Development. As a science-driven institution, it produces high-quality research and participates in international networks and projects; a fundamental aspect is its participation in advanced education and training programs for a large international community of students. LAQV is a valuable partner in national industry and consumer associations, keeping its objectives aligned with political policies and the research agenda established by the Portuguese Government and the strategic agenda of FCT-MCTES. To pursue the objectives established, LAQV is focused in three Thematic Lines: Sustainable Chemistry and Technology; Food Chemistry and Technology; and Chemistry to Health& Wellbeing. The strategy of LAQV crosses all policy agendas adopted at the national and international levels. To tackle such compliance, LAQV working program is focused on different key points: investment in energy transition and sustainability, with a focus on renewable energies and circular economy; investment in the usefulness of marine resources, capitalizing on the broad Exclusive Eco- nomic Zone of Portugal, with several purposes, including for biomedical applications, following biorefining and sustainable sea mining; capitalizing on the impact of chemical and biotechnological discoveries for health by being the translation of conceptual models and research into operative devices and practices that contribute effectively to improve healthy life expectancy and wellbeing; investment in Co-Development R&D projects and Mobilizer Projects, in collaboration with several companies and technological centers; investment on the sustainability of the environment and of the agri-food chain by pursuing the protection and the sustainable exploitation of all ecosystems towards high-efficient resources within a circular economy. LAQV activities will continue to be focused on public policies, covering their transversal activities of education and training and the Research & Innovation Activities within cutting-edge topics of public interest. With Chemistry as the underlying theme, LAQV set the following objectives: • Create and develop sustainable procedures and technologies towards a circular and climate-neutral exploitation of natural resources – land and sea. • Boost a cooperative research strategy towards a valued, healthy, and safe water and food supply. • Provide processes and methodologies for Energy Transition and Sustainability. • Converge and integrate top-notch research and expertise towards an effective improvement of healthy life expectancy and wellbeing. • Use green and innovative processes towards the protection, enhancement, and conservation of Cultural Heritage.
