TESTIMONIALS
"I found the Project Zero course a much-needed introduction to sustainability initiatives taking place in research institutes around the world. Kate was an excellent course leader: she challenged us, inspired us, and was always willing to go the extra mile in providing extra resources we requested.”

"The Project Zero course helped me to better understand the main sources of GHG emissions and get inspired from best practices and decarbonization success stories. The worldwide examples provided in the course are very useful to develop the action plan to decarbonize our workplace. I would totally recommend this course!”

"The course raised my awareness of issues relating to embodied carbon and how we can mitigate our environmental impact as a sector, as an organisation and individually. It's directly changed my behaviour and I'm more conscientious about my actions than I was before.”

"The Project Zero course was a starting point for me to engage our lab and the whole research institute in sustainable activities. Importantly, the course helped me to connect with people who are interested in solving problems in sustainability. Now, we run a sustainability committee and results are starting to show already!"

"The training Kate delivered was great. Being generally quite eco-conscious I wasn’t sure how much more I’d learn but there was plenty of opportunity to dig deeper and build a solid level of knowledge and evidence. Developing the action plan really help with this too. Kate was really friendly and helpful - I’d totally recommend the Zeroverse training."
