UCD SUSTAINABLE RESEARCH INITIATIVE
UCD Dublin in Belfield Dublin 4
Climate change and global warming have caused many to question their impact on the environment. Research staff and students at UCD recognise that their work can have a profoundly detrimental effect, for example, globally, laboratories use 10 x more energy than equivalent office spaces and produce 5.5 tons of plastic waste annually.
In response to these concerns, we launched the Sustainable Research Initiativewhich has a diverse membership including academic, research, technical and administrative staff. This is a “ground-up” initiative, driven by those with a strong interest in bringing greater sustainability to their work.
You are invited to the next SRI Wetlabs meeting on Thursday 10 October (provisional).
Venue TBC, although likely to be Conway Institute OR International students Global Lounge.
This is the place to find out about My Green Lab (mygreenlab.org) and UCD, we want to know about the sustainability work you are doing in your research as well!
Regards,
UCD Sustainable Research Initiative
