Teaching Lab certified at the highest level by My Green Lab
Oeiras, 05th January 2026
The Teaching Laboratory has been officially certified by My Green Lab at the highest level — GREEN, a distinction that reflects our strong commitment to sustainability and responsible laboratory practices.
This achievement was the result of a long and demanding process, involving continuous improvement, learning, and collaboration. Above all, it represents a journey driven by collective commitment and a strong team spirit.
This recognition would not have been possible without the involvement and dedication of everyone who contributed throughout the process. Special acknowledgement is due to the Zero Waste Lab team, whose guidance, rigor, and continuous support were fundamental to achieving this goal.
"This certification represents a fundamental step for ITQB NOVA because it reinforces our commitment to sustainability and ensures that students who go through the Teaching Laboratory take responsible practices with them into their training and future professional careers", says Teresa B. Silva, from the Teaching Laboratory.
This certification reinforces ITQB NOVA's ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, and motivates the Institute to continue expanding these practices to other laboratories.
"Congratulations to everyone who worked to achieve this recognition”, says ITQB NOVA Dean João Crespo. “The My Green Lab GREEN certification for our Experimental Teaching Laboratory proves that sustainability at ITQB NOVA is more than just a nice word - it's embedded in our practices. We're proud of this achievement and committed to extending these standards across the Institute."
