Mitigating the environmental impact of scientific activities without giving up on research excellence ?

The CNRS office in Brussels invites you to discuss this issue with the chair of the CNRS ethics committee, Dr Christine Noiville

The environmental impact of scientific activities is a growing concern among research and innovation communities. Researchers, and particularly young generations, acknowledge the need to rethink their activities to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. What can we rethink, how far should we go without giving up on research excellence?
