GREEN POLICY LAB - Science for Policy Summer School

Want to learn how to turn your research into real policy impact?

At the Green Policy Lab, a Summer School co-organized by the University of Vienna and IIASA, you’ll explore how researchers can meaningfully contribute to green and evidence-informed policymaking. Through an immersive programme combining hands-on learning, expert input, and international exchange, you’ll discover what it takes to navigate the science-policy interface and make your research count. Join us and become part of a growing community shaping greener and more resilient futures!

Harmful Algal Bloom Control Technologies 2026 Funding Opportunity

The United States Harmful Algal Bloom Control Technologies Incubator (US HAB-CTI) is soliciting lab-based research proposals focused on the development of innovative tools and technologies to control Harmful Algal Blooms. Projects may target any algae that is an issue in the U.S. coastal, estuarine, or Great Lakes regions, including: toxic and noxious phytoplankton, cyanobacteria, benthic algae, and macroalgae.

Mass spectrometry-based methods for analysis of ionic liquid species

The synthesis and use of ionic liquids (ILs) has increased steadily since their inception, driven by their distinctive useful properties. In cases where they replace harmful volatile organic solvents they are often considered “green” and in cases where they are recyclable, they may be considered sustainable. However, many of the properties—such as low volatility and stability—that make them attractive for applications also make them potential persistent contaminants, should they be released into the environment.

ACS Award for Creative Advances in Environmental Science and Technology

Purpose

To encourage creativity in research and technology or methods of analysis to provide a scientific basis for informed environmental control decision-making processes or to provide practical technologies that will reduce health risk factors.

Description

The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate. Up to $2,500 for travel expenses to the meeting at which the award will be presented will be reimbursed.
