Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) has become the first national research funding agency in the world to fund a newly launched sustainable laboratory certification pilot programme.
The initiative was announced by the country’s research and innovation minister Simon Harris today and is run in conjunction with international NGO My Green Lab.
The goal of the certification programme is to make laboratories, which can use up to 10 times more energy than normal offices, more climate friendly.
