Environmentally Sustainable Health Research: The Institutional Perspective  

Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change

Exact timings tbc (the event will be 2 hours).

The aim of the event is to explore with the speakers/audience what research organisations are doing to create infrastructures and incentives for environmentally sustainable research (in dry labs), what opportunities and challenges they face, how funders are influencing this and what tools and approaches are out there (opportunities and challenges) and how these efforts and requirements are understood and experienced by researchers. This will ensure that our research community is both aware of the wider context from the institutional perspective, and also that it has a voice in leadership team decisions on environmentally sustainable research. Confirmed panel members include Joseph Arroway-Myatt, Sustainable Laboratories Co-ordinator at Oxford, Martin Farley, Associate Director of Sustainability at UKRI, Federica Lucivero, Associate Professor in the Ethics of Technology at Oxford and a member (tbc) of the BDI/NDPH leadership team.
