Save the Date: 05.04.2023 – Webinar: Green Lab Certifications
On 5th of April, WALDNER’s Labcafé online will focus on certifications and programmes to make lab buildings, lab equipment and work in the lab more sustainable. Information and registration for the free webinar: https://www.waldner.de/de/service/academy/impulse-laboratory/green-lab-certifications/
Save the date: 09.05. – 11.05. – LAB Sustainability Summit at the Labvolution, Hannover
The LAB Sustainability Summit will focus on how sustainability can be implemented in the laboratory – but also how companies from the life sciences sector can contribute to sustainability, for example by offering more sustainable products, and by integrating sustainability measures into their own operations. Further information and the programme are available here: https://www.labvolution.de/de/rahmenprogramm/lab-sustainability-summit/
NIUB is responsible for planning and organising the content of the LAB Sustainability Summit.
Save the date: 31 May – 14:30h: Talk at the Future Labs Live, Basel
How can sustainability be implemented in the lab? My talk: “Ecomapping – a hands on method to make your lab more sustainable” will present the Ecomapping method, which can be applied in any lab to identify and directly implement sustainable actions.

Project NACH-LABS started
How can we reduce environmental impacts and improve sustainability in laboratories? The project NACH-LABS, funded by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (German Federal Foundation for the Environment), is investigating this question over the next two years. On 8 March, the kick-off event took place at the HAW in Hamburg.
Project partners: Prof. Walter Leal, HAW Hamburg (project management), Prof. Nico Bruns (TU Darmstadt) and Dr. Teutenberg (IUTa e.V. Hamburg).
NIUB provides support to the project partners in the project implementation.
Blog
This blog is about sustainability in life sciences and offers tips and best practices: for labs that want to become green labs and companies that want to know how they can contribute and become a sustainable company themselves.
ECOMAPPINGTM – An easy way to make your lab work more sustainable
Being environmentally friendly as a scientist … mission impossible?e are saving energy, buy plastic-free and go to work by bike. But when we enter the lab, it is difficult to work environmentally friendly. It’s the lab building alone that consumes...

eople who work in the lab know the saying: "Never change a running system". If a method works, please do not change anything. Otherwise the results are no longer comparable - that's absolutely right! In my presentations and workshops, I regularly...
