The Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Lebenswissenschaften Heidelberg GmbH aims to conserve the environment and works closely with the professional conference organiser, MCI Berlin, to realise this.
MCI Berlin considers sustainable growth as a corporate duty and implements green measures in the planning of events and conferences.
Through an analysis of the ecological footprint of The EMBO Meeting 2012 in Nice, France, we will endeavour to implement further energy saving and and environmentally friendly steps for The EMBO Meeting 2013.
