EUROLAB-UNIDO webinar: "Rethinking Sustainability: Ensuring the long-term viability of laboratories"

The first EUROLAB-UNIDO webinar: "Rethinking Sustainability: Ensuring the long-term viability of laboratories," took place online on 30 September.

Speakers Annalisa Romiti, Dorina Nati, Caterina Del Buono, Marco Della Giovampaola, and Marija Cundeva-Blajer provided valuable insights on the importance of sustainability as a condition for the viability, competitiveness, and resilience of laboratories. During the interactive presentations, 150 participants were able to learn about how laboratory activities intersect with global sustainability challenges and opportunities. In addition, EUROLAB Secretary General presented EUROLAB's activities in supporting laboratories to build sustainable strategies.

This seminar is part of EUROLAB's partnership with UNIDO. The two organisations will host a series of seminars under the UNIDO Global Quality and Standards Programme (GQSP). This joint initiative between UNIDO and Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) seeks to boost national quality infrastructure systems and standards compliance to support sustainable trade, inclusive growth, and SME market access. The GQSP helps industries to become more competitive through strengthened compliance capacity with quality and standards, facilitating market access for SMEs and enhancing their integration into value chains.
