Green is the colour of our conference. Not only because it makes up two thirds of the Rotterdam flag, but mainly because we want this to be the greenest and most sustainable conference in hearing up to date. The ESPCI is the largest conference on cochlear implants for children, but that also means it has a huge impact on the environment. The large number of international professionals flying to the conference emit an extraordinary amount of CO2 into our atmosphere. We, as the executive committee of ESPCI 2023, recognize the burden imposed on our environment and are proud to take the first steps towards a more sustainable conference.
We actively promote public transportation and ask you to make use of our Eurostar and Thalys discount offer. We also offer free use of public transportation with the Rotterdam Welcome Card and compensate CO2 through tree planting. But for now, we would like to introduce you to two of our green speakers.
