The Green ISCB Committee
The GreenISCB Committee was formed to discuss and address the broad range of environmental issues. Its remit covers the following areas:
- Raising awareness of environmental issues among our members
- Measuring and monitoring the environmental impact of society activities, and where possible reducing the carbon footprint of the society
- Lobbying for action within and outside of the ISCB to reduce the environmental impacts of computational biology.
- Providing guidelines and recommendations for sustainability in science
Committee membership: Loic Lannelongue (Chair), Alex Bateman, Ana Conesa, Geoff Barton, Christine Orengo, Bel Hanson, Diane Kovats, Patrick Penndorf.

Sustainability at ISCB conferences
The society’s conferences are a large source of environmental impact. Both through the means of travel used by conference attendees as well as the hosting of the physical meeting. Significant efforts have been made over the last years to measure and reduce the impact of the conferences. The sustainability efforts of ISCB conferences can be found here.
The ISCB grove
The ISCB grove was set up in 2020, in collaboration with All Things Small and Green and Trees for Life to provide a route for members to offset their carbon emissions. We invite you to contribute here.
