Tools for environmentally sustainable health research: opportunities, challenges and open questions
Tuesday, 13 January 2026, 2pm to 4pm
This is an in person event in the Richard Doll Building Lecture Theatre.
Abstract
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, what tools and approaches are out there and how all this is 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.
Panel members
Confirmed panel members include Joseph Arroway-Myatt, Sustainable Laboratories Co-ordinator at Oxford, Martin Farley, Associate Director of Sustainability at UKRI and Federica Lucivero, Associate Professor in the Ethics of Technology at Oxford.
Registration
Time
Time: 2pm to 4pm (including 30 minutes for tea and coffee and networking at the end).
