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!
