MBW has a lot of research equipment. Most equipment is open to use for everybody (after contact with the responsible person and after relevant training).

All research equipment is listed in a file Apparatlista MBW, which you will find on the MBW server file.mbw.su.se/PUB/APPARATUR-lab equipment>APPARATLISTA.

Moving or discarding lab equipment

Most lab equipment are assets listed in the asset register and marked with an ID number. When such equipment is moved from one room to another room, or thrown away it is important that the change is registered in the asset register (to facilitate the yearly inventory as well as to have an up to date location).

Fill in the form “Equipment move or discard” (file.mbw.su.se/PUB/APPARATLISTA/Blankett för Anläggninge flytt eller kassera) and hand in to Anna Nilsson Rosin, Financial Officer in the Administration.

The University works systematically with environmental issues and complies with the requirements of the environmental management standards ISO 14001 and EMAS. Consequently, concern for the environment is a part of our daily work.

The University aims to reduce the negative environmental impact and increase the positive impact. Negative impact occurs if we, as for example, travel on duty and do not show concern for the environment when planning our trip. Positive impact is when we educate and disseminate knowledge concerning issues related to the environment and sustainable development.

The slogan "Being environmentally-friendly should be easy" is essential for the University´s environmental management.
