On April 29th, the next sustainable research symposium will be organised, hosted this year by EMBL in Heidelberg. The symposium will delve into the critical role of sustainable practices within the scientific community, and explore topics such as green laboratory practices, the inspiring role of grassroots movements, organisation’s sustainability strategies, and the vital role of funders, always with an eye on the future. By fostering a culture of sustainability within science, we can reduce our ecological footprint, enhance research integrity, and ensure the long-term viability of scientific research.

Through a series of keynote presentations and panel discussions, participants will have the opportunity to engage with leading experts and share their own experiences in sustainable science. The symposium is being organised in collaboration with EMBO, the Sustainable European Laboratories Network (SELs), and with support from the European Union’s Climate Pact.
