As researchers grapple with global challenges, it becomes imperative to adopt environmentally responsible and socially equitable research methodologies. This symposium will explore topics such as green laboratory practices, the inspiring role of grassroots movements, organisation\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing, this event aims to inspire scientists to embrace sustainability as a core principle of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This symposium is being hosted at EMBL Heidelberg and virtually as part of the SuReSymp programme of annual sustainable research symposiums. It is being organised in collaboration with EMBO, the Sustainable European Laboratories Network (SELs), and with support from the European Union\u2019s Climate Pact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
