Towards greener laboratories

29.05.2026

Together with 10 other groups from the University of Vienna, PNM participates in a pilot project for greening research

SPARKHub [https://sparkhub.eu/] is a new open-access platform that helps research organizations and teams reduce their environmental impact through practical guidance, certification, and community-led good practice. The platform is supported by several international research funding organizations, such as EMBO, Wellcome Trust, Research Ireland, NIHR, DFG, SNSF.

Together with 3 other groups from the Faculty of Physics and another 7 throughout the university, PNM signed up for participation. We are committed to complete the bronze certification tasks by the end of May 2026, and a peer-certification until the end of July 2026.
