Abstract
Science and technology have been of crucial importance for the development of humanity. Throughout history, new knowledge and technological innovations have made it possible to raise the standard of living for new generations in different parts of the world. However, this has also led to an unfortunate acceleration in the use of the world’s natural resources. Nevertheless, scientific and technological findings are often promoted as the drivers of development in our societal and economic systems.
