Sustainability

For a few years now, CIRED has tried to favor more sustainable practices in its organization of conferences, workshops, and committee meetings. While keeping the same quality standards, our team works on making our events greener.

We are currently looking for an association in Rome to collect extra delegate bags at the end of this year’s conference (if any). If you are interested or know someone who could be, send us an email!
