STARC Virtual Sandpit: Lab Sustainability Tool Design

26 September 2025 09:30-12:30


Introduction
We invite you to join a virtual sandpit workshop, which will be held to support the development of a new digital sustainability assessment tool for chemical laboratory activities. The tool is being created as part of the Sustainability Training & Assessment for Research in Chemistry (STARC) Network, funded by the Å·ÃÀAV.
Designed for use in undergraduate practicals and student research projects, the tool will offer a simple, user-friendly way to evaluate the environmental sustainability of lab-based activities (akin to a COSHH form).
The sandpit will bring together contributors from academia, industry, technical services, and student communities to explore:
  • Key design features and sustainability metrics for the tool
  • Current practices and needs around sustainability in lab work
Perspectives from across the globe are strongly encouraged, including those based in Africa, Asia, and other regions. The aim is to ensure the tool reflects diverse educational research contexts and supports sustainability in chemical sciences internationally.
Participation is open to anyone with an interest in sustainable chemical and / or pharmaceutical science, including those in EHS roles.
The sandpit will be held online via MS Teams. Access details will be provided following registration via the STARC Network Interest Form.
