Education
The Pillar for Sustainability in Education focuses on raising awareness of areas for improvement for the current and next generation of students, emphasizing the adoption of more sustainable practices.
This includes providing necessary information, developing sustainable practical lab sessions, and integrating sustainability into the curriculum. Our vision is to inspire and equip students with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions that positively impact both science and planetary health. By fostering a culture of sustainability, we aim to prepare students to be leaders in creating a sustainable future.
