The purpose of this small paper is to explore the prospects of the academic world to contribute to ecological transition. First, I will present how this contribution may be conceived in abstracto, as if researchers could exclusively devote their work to the ecological transition from now on, without delay. Then, I will move to a more realistic description of how researchers work and of the relationship between research and society, emphasizing the difficulties of the contribution of the academia to the ecological transition. Third, I will focus on technological knowledge and innovation.
