I want to join
We are an informal initiative without any leadership structure. Our goal is to intensify the sustainability agenda at the Czech Academy of Sciences. This will be a complex process that will involve actors at all levels of the Academy. We welcome members of the Academy willing to joining into this process.- In Contacts below, you can find information about our mailing list and Facebook page.
- Agenda of individual employees of the Academy have included things like reducing the intensity of grass mowing at the campus, increasing vegan option in the local canteen, or carbon offseting of business trips flights. We have had valuable discussions with several directors of the institutes of the Academy about their experience on renovations of buildings of the institutes. Such discussions are crucial for us in identifying key areas and necessary transformation steps. We will appreciate suggestions or experiences.
- We are looking for volunteers willing to help us with running of Sustainable Academy (writing/translating articles, web administration, ...).
- Sustainable Academy focuses on sustainability of the Czech Academy of Sciences and hence primarily works with their employees (including affiliated students and emeriti). However, we are open to collaboration and exchange of ideas with relating initiatives in Czechia and abroad.
