Sustainability obviously is the depoliticization of strategies mainly determined by quixotic views to Mother Nature by ecological philosophies. The point is to achieve economical growth by reconciliation with the environment and the human concerns and needs. Our entire behavior has to be adjusted with the principle to assure a life style for future generations that guarantees prosperity, health, wellbeing and an environment in good order simultaneously.

My personal surrounding – the laboratory world - works on behalf of future sustainable solutions and according my opinion sustainable products and processes can only be achieved to act within the scope of sustainable operations. Therefore it is eminently important to sustainable design research sites.  I like to contribute to these aims with my work on behalf of EGNATON.

As a projectmanager for laboratory projects at a Belgian university I am obliged to work with very tight budgets. At the same time, sustainability issues demand considerations to be made in a broader perspective and not mere in means of investment. Joining Egnaton offers me the possibility to enter a European network of experts who deal with these problems every single day, it brings me into contact with referenceprojects outside my university or country and helps me to define the proper answers to these questions imposed.
