In this episode of the podcast, we have Jeroen Dobbelaere and Jan Heidelberger with us to discuss green grassroots groups in academia.

Why are green grassroots groups important for the sustainable transformation of universities? What are the typical struggles of the groups? How can university management help the groups, and what kind of support should green groups be asking for!?

Join us on our mission towards more sustainable research as we discuss obstacles and solutions, talk to other caring scientists, and try to figure out how to make scientific research more sustainable. One thing is certain: Mission Sustainable isn't a Mission Impossible!

Your hosts are:

  • Adriana Wolf Perez, Ph.D., working as a program manager at the University of Cambridge, UK
  • Nikoline Borgermann, Ph.D., working as an independent green lab consultant at Ava Sustain and a sustainable labs advisor at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark
  • Alysée Segui de Carreras, M.Sc., experienced in the pharma industry, now educated in LCA and circularity to take part in the ecological transition of labs and the healthcare system

... who are all passionate about the planet and people!
