Theme Sustainability in research

General

Join us for inspiring discussions with fellow researchers on different aspects of sustainability in research, and research into sustainability over vegan lunch.

You select a ‘menu’ for this lunch, consisting of a selection of four different ‘courses’ at different tables that each cover a different topic. The discussion at each table is led by an internal or external expert discussion leader. Find the preliminary programme with the different topics below.
