Dear Green Place
The ESAIC is committed to incorporating environmental sustainability into its mission and vision. With a portfolio of programmes and a project-based approach, ESAIC aims to ensure sustainability is integrated into daily agendas and appropriate actions are taken to raise awareness of required changes within the field of anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine.
At Euroanaesthesia 2023 in Glasgow, ESAIC will launch a series of sustainability projects, including the Glasgow Declaration, expert opinion paper, sustainability abstracts, Meet the Expert, ESAIC Expo, and high-profile lightning talks. In parallel with the conference, ESAIC will create its own “Dear Green Place” within the exhibition area to showcase green and sustainable innovations.
The Concept
Glasgow, which means “Dear Green Place” in Celtic, has a reputation for green spaces despite its industrial roots. Euroanaesthesia will feature its own “Dear Green Place”, a space for exploring, learning, meeting, and talking about sustainability. The exhibition will consist of themed islands showcasing industry equipment and staffed by members of the Green Anaesthesia Scotland and ESAIC Sustainability Committee.
The Islands
The five islands within the Dear Green Place will focus on
- Networking & Beyond anaesthesia
- Anaesthetic gases and drugs
- Waste and scavenging
- Energy efficiency, Renewable energies, and Circular economies
The islands will have a permanent presence from expert members of the Green Anaesthesia Scotland (GAS) or ESAIC sustainability committee member able to talk about the subject of the island.
Industry Opportunities
Industry partners will have the opportunity to showcase their products, network about sustainability corporate programmes, and present during coffee breaks. Attendees will be encouraged to visit the Dear Green Place, providing PR opportunities.
