| Aware of the importance of physical proximity for community building, our colleagues from the ENLIGHT green office present a new guide to make onsite events more inclusive, diverse and sustainable.

| | ENLIGHT walks hand in hand with its cities, regions and communities
| Disciplinary and institutional silos need to be overcome for our communities to acquire the skills required for effective collaboration.
