Minister awards 13 UCD labs with sustainable laboratory certifications

Wednesday, 16 July, 2025

Thirteen University College Dublin labs have today been awarded sustainability laboratory certifications by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD.

These certificates reward the implementation of best-in-class, sustainable research practices.

This success reflects the aims of the UCD Sustainability Plan to 2030 and the broader Breaking Boundaries Strategy to 2030 in realising UCD as a ‘living lab’, where sustainability is practised, taught and researched in real time by students, staff and the wider community.

Minister Lawless announced 72 sustainable laboratory certifications to research spaces in 12 higher education institutions across Ireland, under a Research Ireland-led programme.
