A Word from the Creators of My Earth in 180’

“Based on” the observation that nearly two-thirds of carbon emissions from research laboratories are directly linked to staff activities (air travel, intensive computing, etc.), a group of researchers (F. Giraud, N. Gratiot, B. Hingray, F. Michau, G. Panthou, G. Sarret) considered the following question : how can we raise awareness within the scientific community of the need to reduce our carbon footprint, and collectively explore alternatives to air travel ?

To tackle these issues in a fun and friendly way, we have created a collaborative workshop : My Earth in 180’.
This workshop takes place online. It brings together research teams from different fields. Each participant will take on the role of a member of a research team. The aim : to collectively reduce our GHG emissions by 50%. We’re expecting lively debates !
