As part of its ecological transition, our laboratory produces an annual carbon assessment to measure the environmental footprint of our research activities. This assessment is carried out using tools developed by the Labos 1point5 collective, which are specifically designed to calculate the carbon footprint and construct a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) assessment for French laboratories.

This assessment is carried out using tools developed by the Labos 1point5 collective, which are specifically designed to calculate the carbon footprint and construct a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) assessment for French laboratories.
To this end, our laboratory has established a ‘Transition’ Working Group (WG), currently composed of 5 individuals: Alexandra Martins (Team 1), Catherine Schramm (Team 3), Carine Cleren (T.URN Correspondent, Team 4), Nathalie Porchet (Administrator), and Hélène Castel (Team 5).
The group can be contacted by email at u1245.ddrs@univ-rouen.fr
Carbon Assessments
The unit has been carrying out its annual carbon footprint assessment since 2023 using the “GES 1point5” software.
Initiatives
Idea boxes have been placed in the social areas of the different teams. We encourage you to leave your comments/ideas; the contents will be reviewed and a response will be provided.

- The Challenge of Nature-Based Solutions, Pr. Claude Grison (12/03/2024)
Professor Claude Grison, Director of the ChimEco laboratory (bio-inspired chemistry and ecological innovations), received the European Inventor Award 2022. She developed methods to decontaminate soil and water using plants. Furthermore, the metals recovered serve as eco-catalysts for the synthesis of drugs or cosmetic products. This can also be performed using invasive exotic plants such as water primrose (Jussia d’eau).
