Umfrage - Transformation der Life Sciences im Hinblick auf Kreislaufwirtschaft
Thursday, 20 February 2025 12:38
In Zusammenarbeit mit LISA – Life Science Austria - sowie weiteren Clustern aus den Bundesländern wurde der Fragenbogen entwickelt, um den aktuellen Stand der Circular Economy (Kreislaufwirtschaft) in Unternehmen des Life-Science- und Medizintechnik-Sektors zu erfassen.
Ziel ist es, Einblicke in die Herausforderungen, Entwicklungen und Potenziale der Branche in Bezug auf nachhaltige Wirtschaftskreisläufe zu gewinnen. Die Ergebnisse dienen als Grundlage für die Trendthemenkampagne 2024/25.
Die gesammelten Erkenntnisse werden im Rahmen des Austrian Life Science Day 2025 in Linz präsentiert und sollen dazu beitragen, den Weg hin zu einer nachhaltigeren Wirtschaftsweise zu ebne

Now Open to Sign - Milan Declaration on the Crucial Role of Science Addressing Global Challenges
Tuesday, 11 February 2025 09:48The Milan Declaration on the Crucial Role of Science in Addressing Global Challenges is now open for public signing: https://www.febs.org/milan-declaration-science/.
Fifty-five Nobel Prize winners have already endorsed the Milan Declaration, which aims to fostering and enhancing Science as a cornerstone of global collaboration and strengthening civil society's engagement and trust in Science.
The Declaration was developed during the celebration of our 60th Anniversary in Milan on June 29, 2024, by FEBS and IUBMB – International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, FAOBMB – Federation of National Societies of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the Asian and Oceanian Region, FASBMB – Federation of African Societies of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and PABMB – Pan-American Association for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
This Declaration aims:
- to emphasize the vital role of Science in addressing global challenges and fostering sustainable development through ethical, inclusive, and unbiased collaboration.
- to unite scientists and citizens in harnessing Science's transformative power to drive societal progress and build a more prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
- to inspire investments in scientific research, advocate for freedom of research and interdisciplinary innovation, and reaffirm core values such as peace, equity, and human dignity.
Sharing this call widely among your colleagues, collaborators, and networks will greatly enhance the visibility and impact of the Milan Declaration. Together, we can emphasize the crucial role of science in addressing global challenges.
We also encourage our members to sign the Declaration individually.
The Dessert that Changed the World
Tuesday, 11 February 2025 10:07
Have you ever heard about Fanny Angelina Hesse (1850-1934)? This German-American woman had the brilliant idea to use agar to grow microbes in the early 1880s. Agar or agar-agar, is a jelly-like substance consisting of polysaccharides obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae. Nowadays often used as replacement of gelatin in vegetarian desserts. Since the 1880s though, agar (and the derivative, agarose) has als well found its way in virtually every laboratory in the life sciences. Sadly, still too few people have ever heard about her. Dr. Corrado Nai, a fantastic team of scientists and artists are sharing her story through a graphic novel. What makes this graphic novel truly unique? It is based on newly emerged genuine historical material about Mrs Hesse.
Learn more about the project on their new website: https://fanny-hesse-graphic-novel.site/
Find more information on Kickstarter, where the team ran a successful campaign in 2024: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jens-notroff/the-dessert-that-changed-the-world/ (donations are still possible)
How else can you help?
- Please share the news with colleagues and talk about Fanny Angelina Hesse.
- Answer this VERY SHORT survey (it takes only 1 minute to fill): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1N3duKJe33cxBD0BjNM-d5M-zs8uKSAT_O03VEUb7c_M/ We want to ask what people already know about this story and Corrado Nai will prepare a short scientific article in honour of her 175th birthday in June 2025.
