Turn up the heat: Amsterdam UMC wins sustainability prices Eight of Amsterdam UMC's departments and laboratories participated in the international Freezer Challenge this year. Combined they have saved enough energy to power 381 households. An impressive result that is rewarded with the 'Top Clinical Organization Award' and illustrates just how valuable sustainability is, in health care.
Amsterdam UMC leads international consortium in the search for treatment for ME/CFSThanks to a ZonMw grant of more than seven million euros, Amsterdam UMC kick starts new biomedical research into ME/CFS. Jos Bosch, researcher at the University of Amsterdam and Amsterdam UMC, leads along with more than 20 partners, the hunt for answers to the following questions: What exactly happens in the body of patients? How can the diagnosis be improved? And what might be effective treatments?
Get inspired to join the 2023 Freezer ChallengeLast year, the Freezer Challenge led to impressive sustainability results. Together, we saved the daily power consumption of more than 23 households consisting of 4 persons! This year we hope that many (new) labs of Amsterdam UMC will take part in the challenge as well, to save even more.
