Ecological Sustainability:

Heavy Carbon footprint.
Have to find the right balance between decreasing energy consumption and
longevity of hardware.
How much and where to balance science output vs. carbon footprint?

how to strike the balance between sustainability and patronizing? Doesn't only apply for
food. Where does it apply to Collaboration aspects?
 
Non-Ecological sustainability
Social Sustainability:
long term partnerships with local suppliers
(

 task for the legal entity later)
Sustainable Research:
secure long term funding for the Collaboration
Long term social evolution of the Collaboration.
Sustainable “supply of fresh scientists”
Knowledge sustainability (2G – 3G gap?)
 
R&D activities are concerned with the same sustainability aspects as the
infrastructure. New instruments and devices should be designed with the
sustainability of all aspects in mind as they need to be considered for the
infrastructure.
Biggest influence of the Collaboration on sustainability in terms of design choices
is now!
 
Difficulties
 
From today‘s perspective, sustainability is an add-on.
„Scientists are paid to do science.“
Requires additional resources.
While in ETO such finances can finally be included in construction and operation costs,
the Collaboration does not have such central resources.

The ET Collaboration is realizing the importance of sustainability, encompassing ecological and non-ecological aspects. Issues include balancing energy consumption and hardware longevity, remote access possibilities, funding sustainability, social partnerships, and designing instruments with sustainability in mind. Integrating sustainability poses challenges due to funding constraints and the need for additional resources.

To work A thought triggered by the discussion on food: how to strike the balance between sustainability and patronizing? Doesn't only apply for food. Where does it apply to Collaboration aspects?

  4. Non-Ecological sustainability Sustainable Research: secure long term funding for the Collaboration Long term social evolution of the Collaboration.
