1. You want someone to tell you about the one and only solution
Improving Science Through Sustainability
By Sharing Protocols, Solutions and Innovations
A Difficult Mission
While most scientists would like to make their research more sustainable, very few know how. Resistances and fear of impairing results due to a lack of education are common. We cannot trade data quality for reduced environmental impact but how is it then possible to become more sustainable?
A New Approach
We understand sustainable practice as an approach to increase efficiency in the laboratory. That means guiding scientists to reduce footprints by optimizing protocols. That also means saving time, resources, money and making experiments safer for researchers while improving data quality.
An Opportunity
We share insights into sustainable laboratory practice in the form of guides, protocols, and workshops. You can think of us as mediators, bridging the gap between innovators coming up with solutions and scientists able to implementing them. We believe that we can make research safer, more enjoyable, and certainly more sustainable!

Our Event Series Hub
Sustainable Practices For Every Scientist – With Limited Time & Resources
Event from the 13th of March – with Dr. Sriram Satagopan
The event was all about showing how every scientist can take steps towards sustainability. Our speakers Sriram and Patrick shared their personal stories and experiences on how to deal with limited time and common misperceptions.
Upcoming Events
Sustainability in all shapes and sizes – made for you
Special Collaborations
The International Society for Computational Biology is your organization for global impact on science and society in bioinformatics. Apart from an amazing learning hub called “Nucleus”, they also have a “Green Group” you can join to learn more about sustainable practices.
A global society advocating for and advancing scholarship, research, training, outreach, and inclusive community building in computational biology and its professions.
Our friends at tomorrow university let you invest into your future.
Enable yourself to go for a career within sustainability or take the step to learn how to introduce sustainability in your current organization.
Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences is a fully-accredited, remote-first institution that allows learners to build the 21st-century skills needed in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and technology through our revolutionary approach to education. We are building a community of empowered and connected individuals who will create a brighter, more sustainable future. Their success is our mission, and their impact is our measure.
5 Reasons NOT to Work with Us
We are not for everyone
Whether you are a researcher, a manager or someone who wants to blackmail us after having hacked this website, read the following 5 reasons carefully because we think differently
You do not want to be an expert in sustainability, you want to listen what the glowing advocate is advising. How else do you buy a washing machine or a car… For rea, you do not want to see multiple solutions and get information about draw-backs – you might end up having nightmares… Safety and education are not needed in the laboratory because we wear goggles and coats, right?
2. You just need a written protocol and nothing else
You apply it, whether it works well or not does not matter as much. Now it is done once and for all – ready for vacation?. As if sustainable solutions are sustainable because they are tailored. Who wants to know what is going on, remaining in control or being able to update in the future? That is just for the geeks.
3. You are convinced that sustainability does not need investment to develop
If you work with someone in sustainability, everybody will start to eat out of your hand, right? What you have learned does not really matter, you are not in school anymore. The guys you work with want to make you feel good because they want to get paid – the whole trick is that they have this crystal ball after all. Although they figure out solutions in an ever changing environment, they should do it for free since you did not even got a coffee because of these online meetings…
4. All that counts for you are numbers
The words development, niche and personalization are foreign to you because the keyword is success! Nobody cares how collaborators treat each other and nvesting in an upcoming market is what people are doing on Wall-Street – you know because you watched “The Wolf Of Wall-Street” yesterday evening! You need big names and big numbers to make your boss happy… (of note, people from Oxford are at our events, this is why we might delete this rule soon).
5. You don’t need to optimize communication and strategies
When you found a solution, you got it, no need to strategize. After all, you are not playing chess. Your serious face tells everyone that you are not greenwashing. Everybody knows that talking about how to approach change in a laboratory is superfluous because nothing can go wrong. Knowing how to handle assumptions is important when writing a love letter, but not in science. Still, scientists do not have these flaws called emotions and presuppositions… Imagine you would address them, you might end up changing how people perceive your content.
If you want to do things differently, then you can walk the way with us!
