A new data lab <a href="https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/einrichtungen/bicdas/research/datalabs/datalab-sustainability-an/ "target="_blank">"Bi DataLab Sustainability and Climate Change" has been founded at Bielefeld University at the Bielefeld Centre for Data Science.

During the workshop - after a session of short (approx. 5 min) spotlight presentations - groups of researchers with similar research interests will come together with the aim of networking and thus making a more effective joint contribution to sustainability, e.g. by attracting third party funding for research projects. Interested researchers can register at katharina.weiss@uni-bielefeld.de Please include a brief note on the sustainability relevance of your own research and whether you are interested in submitting a Spotlight contribution.
