Research and Development, Innovation, and Sustainable Development through an Interdisciplinary Framework
Synopsis
This book presents a comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the research and innovation ecosystem, highlighting its strategic importance in contemporary scientific, technological, and socio-economic development. Covering a broad range of fields—including digital transformation, health analytics, geospatial technologies, disaster management, environmental sustainability, cultural diversity, and green innovation—the chapters demonstrate that R&D is not merely a technical process but a multidimensional mechanism that shapes society, industry, and knowledge production.
The volume offers a structured framework for understanding R&D professionalism, innovation pathways, methodological guidelines, and globally recognized standards. It brings together insights on GIS applications, healthcare research and development, physiotherapy innovations, sustainable food systems, pesticide-free agriculture, artificial photosynthesis, and more.
By emphasizing cultural diversity as a driver of scientific collaboration and innovation, and by aligning with international sustainability goals, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, policymakers, and all stakeholders seeking to foster innovative capacity and societal progress.
