Giovanna Vinti awarded UCL Green Impact Award
We are delighted to announce that the 'Green-Darwin' Green Impact Team has won two Bronze Awards which were presented by the Provost at an Awards Ceremony held last week. The IHA's Giovanna Vinti secured the first award for 'Green-Darwin Labs' and the 'Green Darwin' team won a second.
These fantastic achievements form part of the efforts of the wider UCL community in pressing forward the green agenda. Awards went to teams across UCL for work that included putting up awareness-raising notices and posters encouraging people to switch off lights and equipment when not needed, potentially saving 7,038kg CO2 per year; and likewise to print and photocopy double-sided, potentially saving 108,594kg CO2 and £40,220 on resource costs this year across the institution.

Welcome to the Institute of Healthy Ageing
The Institute is an interdisciplinary centre of excellence for research on the biology of ageing and ageing-related diseases. Our primary purpose is to bring together researchers working on the biology of ageing (biogerontology) with those working to understand the causes of ageing-related disease.
By
merging the two, we aim
to develop a new translational biogerontology using the ageing process
as a point of intervention to protect against the diseases of old age.
Our goal is to improve the health and quality of life for older people.
Our research is sponsored by the following funders, amongst others*, and we are extremely grateful to all of them for their contribution to our work:
* The IHA thanks the above as well as the Alzheimer's Research Trust, the British Society of Haemotology, Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation, the Glenn Foundation, NIH, the Nuffield Foundation, Research into Ageing and Parkinson's UK.
