The STS Conference Graz is a Green Meeting
The STS Conference Graz is committed to climate protection and sustainability. That’s why we chose to get certified by the Austrian Ecolabel for "Green Meetings and Green Events" (https://www.umweltzeichen.at/en/green-meetings-and-events/home). The Green Meeting certification process helps to identify areas where sustainability can be improved. Our goal is to make the conference as eco-friendly as possible.
