Sustainability
Cognisant of the impact that lab research has on our environment, GNC researchers are committed to adopting green lab principles and practice within their labs. These efforts are aimed at educating researchers about their own behaviours and attitudes to lab waste, while pointing to opportunities to reduce the negative impact that their research has on the environment. The University of Galway has pledged to certify all labs on-campus as ‘green’, by 2026 and GNC members are eager to help the university to meet this ambitious goal.
For further information about registering for green lab certification, or about the ‘Green Lab Principles and Practice’ 5-ECTS graduate module, please contact Dr Una FitzGerald (una.fitzgerald@universityofgalway.ie).
Details of the steps involved in certification can also be found on the ‘My Green Lab’ website (www.mygreenlab.org).
