Eco-responsible lab
Like many laboratories in France and around the world, the IGF aims to reduce the environmental impact of its research activities, in line with the opinion of the CNRS ethics committee on the environmental ethics of research activities.
The Sustainable Development Committee (com2D) and individual initiatives are being developed within the Institute, with the support of the management team and those involved in this eco-responsibility initiative. We are working closely with the IGH Green Committee to develop a site-wide policy (Campus Arnaud de Villeneuve).
