๐ Sustainability Roadshow
In Autumn, startup company earthnest, founded by Alumnus Martin Hรกk, will launch a series of events with focus on practical solutions to the challenges of sustainable development. Sustainability Roadshow will cover a wide range of topics in 15+ hybrid events across Europe.
The events will take 75 minutes and showcase a product and service that gets us closer to achieving Sustainable Development Goals. The best part is that the concept is open so the LBGs, BAN members or just anybody interested may add an event of their own that will be streamed in all other sites. Are you in?
๐งโ๐ผ Internships
Our team of interns is helping us in developing our infrastructure and sorting daily tasks. There are two developer interns positions, and weโll open a project manager position soon. All information is here.
Of course weโre still on the look out for volunteers and active members of all kinds, if you want to give us a hand, you can find here some areas where help would be very appreciated. But if you have different ideas, do let us know what you want to implement!

Book: Prisoners of Geography
โAll leaders of nations are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas, and concrete.โ Tim Marshall examines maps to provide this context often missing from our political reportage.Video: Tim Urban - Inside The mind of a master procrastinator
Urban shows in his hilarious ways what are the mechanisms that make us procrastinate and what to do about it, considering our limited time.Tool: Trello
For those who are starting with project management, or just to track several tasks at once, Trello is a free Kanban board extremely easy to use and open to collaboration.
You can even use it for home matters, it can make things much easier :)
