SEA-SIG initiatives at the OHBM 2023 annual meeting.

OHBM's Sustainability and Environmental Action Special Interest Group (SEA-SIG) is a growing group of neuroimaging scientists endeavouring to reduce the environmental impact of (neuroimaging) research and promoting sustainable practices in our community.
We are active in three main areas:

The Annual Meeting Working Group advises OHBM on reducing the carbon footprint of the Annual Meeting. By assessing the environmental impact of the conference every year, we work toward more sustainable meeting models.

---

The Neuroimaging Research Pipelines Working Group brings together developers with a green future in mind. We're working on tools and ways for tracking and optimising energy costs of computational processes.

---

The Education and Outreach Working Group provides educational resources and disseminates them through community events. Our aim is to spark interest in sustainability-related topics in current and future neuroscientists.
