The Sustainability Guide for Research Processes, developed by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is a practical framework that helps researchers consider environmental sustainability when planning and conducting research. It consists of guiding questions rather than strict rules, allowing researchers to identify opportunities to reduce emissions, waste and the consumption of resources while maintaining high-quality research. The guide focuses on four main areas: travel; methodology and research design; computing; and the procurement, operation and use of equipment. Researchers are encouraged to consider alternatives such as reducing air travel, reusing existing data and samples, sharing equipment, using energy-efficient technologies, and reducing computing-related energy consumption. It also encourages researchers to identify potential conflicts between sustainability and research goals and make informed decisions. The DFG emphasises that sustainability considerations should support not compromise scientific excellence.
