  • Abstract
    Sustainable development is about ensuring a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come. In achieving this aim a new definition of engineering emerges: it is still about the ´fun of the impossible´, but the impossible now includes ecological and social responsibilities as well as technical ones.
