2014 S-Lab Awards

The Awards scheme is in its third year and recognises good practice and innovation from around the world in a range of areas, including design of new and refurbished laboratories, laboratory effectiveness, laboratory environmental improvement, laboratory informatics, best new laboratory product and other areas. Past winners of the UK categories are Edinburgh, Liverpool, London South Bank, Loughborough, Manchester, Newcastle, Plymouth, Sheffield Hallam and St Andrews Universities; Imperial College, London; Oldham Sixth Form College and University College, London. The winners of the 2013 International categories were the New Zealand Forestry Institute and the University of California, Irvine. Both they and other winning and short listed applications have found many benefits from the recognition that we have been able to generate for them. The closing date for 2014 applications is 3 February 2014.

The Awards will be presented in conjunction with the ‘Supporting World Class Science’ conference at King’s College London on September 2-3 2014. This covers topics such as more effective management of science facilities, leaner and more productive lab design, improved processes and workflows, enhanced technical support, and more effective use of IT and other technology. It provides a unique forum for key stakeholders such as science managers, estates and facilities, technical support, specialist services, suppliers and others to hear the latest developments and to network with a wider range of people than they normally experience. As in previous years, we would be delighted to offer your organisation a free ticket to attend.
