Our Sustainable Centre
The Centre for Integrative Anatomy is committed to improvement in all areas of sustainability, and takes part in three campaigns that support this aim: LEAF, Green Impact and Green DiSC.
Our Sustainability Leads and Champions
The Centre comprises several labs, each led by Principal Investigators from both within our Department (CDB) and outside of it (eg, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering), which meet together regularly to decide actions to take in support of sustainability.
The Centre has Sustainability Leads and Champions to help co-ordinate the work we do to improve our sustainability and lessen our impact on the environment.
