ABOUT US
CMS! is an academic start-up of the Viennese Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights - Research Association (BIM-FV) aiming to reduce plastic in the Mediterranean Sea. To achieve our goal, we analyse national and international legal frameworks, work closely with renowned NGOs and institutions from all over Europe and give hands on advice to reduce plastic in our everyday life. Talented and driven people from different academic backgrounds build our team, with one common goal – a cleaner sea!

“We cannot direct the wind. But we can adjust the sails.” - Aristoteles
As professor for human rights and as a sailor I have learned that plastic waste in the Mediterranean is a ticking bomb for nature, environment and climate because of the locked offing between the Bosporus and the Pillars of Heracles.
