As a company, we are committed to ensuring that sustainability is a consideration in everything we do. When organising our Workshops, we are always looking for new ways to minimise our environmental impact. Sustainable events require a well-thought-out strategy and collaboration with the right stakeholders. We actively seek partnerships with suppliers that we can work with to deliberately choose sustainable options and to ensure that services and products meet our sustainable goals. This isn’t always a straightforward process. It requires constant searches for criteria matching, data analysis, grading and a fair amount of trial and error.

My journey to the Biologists @ 100 conference began early on Saturday morning. Clutching my thermos filled with coffee, I made my way to the major train station in Paris, France, Gare du Nord. A light drizzle was falling on the city, turning Paris into a shiny mirror of lights while the sun was slowly rising. Arriving at the station, I saw the first cafes and brasseries opening while the waiters were urging the customers to place their orders. I arrived with enough time to buy myself a hot croissant and continue to passport control. Once passed, I comfortably settled in the waiting area munching my breakfast and reading my crime novel. Time went by in a blink and my train to London St. Pancras, UK, was called out ready for boarding. As I got on the Eurostar, the realisation settled in that in less than 3 hours, I would arrive in one of my favourite cities in Europe. …

One of the key missions of universities and research institutes is to educate the future generations of teachers and researchers. Therefore, it is key to integrate sustainability in the ongoing training. Currently, many science curricula lack sustainability. More universities now offer specific sustainability courses, but an integration in all courses has not happened. To integrate sustainability (including environmental, social and financial aspects), a general embedding will be needed. …
