"C. A. T. A. L."
At ECRD Lab, research and education are guided by the "C. A. T. A. L." values.
These values represent how we approach science, how we collaborate, and how we nurture future researchers.
We foster creativity as the foundation of discovery.
Novel ideas, bold approaches, and interdisciplinary thinking are encouraged to address pressing challenges in energy and sustainability issues.
We believe in agility — the ability to learn quickly, adapt to changing conditions, and seize opportunities.
Agility enables us to thrive in the dynamic landscape of research and innovation.
We practice transparency at every step, from experiment design to data sharing, from mentoring to publication.
Clear and open communication builds trust and drives scientific progress.
We aspire to push the boundaries of science and achieve ambitious goals.
Aspiration fuels our motivation to achieve excellence and to make a meaningful impact on academia, society, and the world.
We aim to cultivate leadership at all levels — not only in science, but also in teamwork, mentorship, and social activities.
Our goal is to empower students to become leaders who create lasting impacts.
