As global challenges increasingly shape the future of research, sustainability has become a key consideration in developmental science. This roundtable will bring together representatives of EADP, EARA, SRA, ISSBD and ICDSS to explore how research can be conducted responsibly, ensuring ethical, environmental, and long-term societal benefits. Discussions will examine the integration of sustainable methodologies, the responsible use of resources, and the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in fostering impactful and equitable research. Participants will also address challenges in implementing sustainable practices, including balancing scientific rigor with ecological and ethical considerations. A non-trivial example is the issue of sustainable traveling to multiple conferences, which requires coordinated efforts among scientific societies to reduce environmental impact while maintaining opportunities for scholarly exchange. By fostering an open exchange of ideas, this session aims to inspire innovative approaches that integrate sustainability into the core of developmental science, ultimately contributing to a more responsible and forward-thinking research landscape.
