Research fields

Lifesciences

LBTU's research in Life Sciences is focused on four main areas: 

  • Implementation of the "One Health" concept, including the study of interactions between different species (animals, plants, and microorganisms); 

  • Research and conservation of biodiversity in agricultural and forest ecosystems;

  • Research for sustainable use of soil and water resources;

  • Development and adaptation of modern technologies—such as digitalization and smart solutions—for the production of high-value agricultural and forestry products, as well as for veterinary medicine.

Both fundamental and applied research is conducted across all LBTU faculties and institutes, in collaboration with external partners.

Engineering

LBTU's research in the field of Engineering encompasses food and beverage technology, environmental engineering and energy, construction and transport engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, information and communication technologies, materials science, mechanical engineering, and related sub-sectors. 

Guided by the principles of the circular economy and sustainable development, LBTU conducts interdisciplinary research focused on the integration of natural and human-made resource management across agriculture, forestry, food production, construction, energy, and transport sectors. Scientists at LBTU develop innovative materials, products, and technologies that address contemporary challenges related to environmental protection, climate neutrality, sustainable production, and recycling.

Social Sciences

Multidisciplinary approaches are crutial for research in Social Sciences, encompassing the interaction and balance of several contemporary dimensions. These include environmental and climate change issues, the identification of key drivers for the transition to a climate-neutral economy, support for the green and digital transformation of EU industries, and the prevention of climate-related risks. 

At the same time, the research also focuses on promoting the competitiveness of environmentally responsible businesses and fostering socially sustainable and inclusive development processes.
