Talk “How to make your research sustainable – practical tips for the laboratory”

This workshop will uncover concrete actions every scientist can take to make their processes more sustainable. Although the reduction of environmental footprints will be central, other factors such as enhanced data quality, reduced expenses, and mental balance will be explored as important factors as well. A multitude of opportunities will be discussed, from general best practices to specific approaches to optimize methodologies such as Mass Spectrometry or High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. In the end, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of what sustainable practice can look like, how to initiate change, and where to refine one’s skills.
