EcoTeam

The CSB EcoTeam has been at the forefront of fostering environmental consciousness and sustainable practices within our Center. It aims to foster greener and more sustainable research practices by elevating the awareness of the collective impact of small, eco-conscious choices. To achieve this, they have implemented various initiatives, including the communication of eco tips through the display screens present at the entrance of each CSB floor. They actively participate in planting trees and bushes on the campus, enhancing visual appeal and promoting biodiversity and ecological balance. Their dedication has earned them a silver medal in 2023 for completing 35 tasks listed in the Green Impact program of VUB. In the future, they are planning to monitor and report on lab energy consumption and to diversify waste collection. 
To expand they reach beyond our research center, they aligned forces in 2022 with the VUB Green Team to make the whole VUB campus greener and more sustainable. In 2023, the CSB EcoTeam has joined the VIB Sustainability Teams. Such strategic partnership provides a platform to coordinate the VIB sustainability policy across Flemish universities and to align the Center’s policy with broader organizational goals, fostering a culture of sustainability that extends beyond our immediate community.
