Before laboratory moves and or terminations

Before moves and/or terminations of laboratory facilities can be done, there is a lot to think about and ensure, before the area can be returned.

These instructions aim to simplify laboratory moves and/or terminations for KI - personnel. Good planning will minimize risks for entrepreneurs, laboratory staff and all other personnel as well as risks for property loss and damages to equipment and/or scientific samples.

Good planning will also decrease the amount of time that research has to be put on hold due to the move.  

This support was initially developed for the major relocations carried out during 2017–2018 when new research facilities were put into use in Biomedicum, Neo, KM-B, and ANA Futura. The material has since been updated and can be used when decommissioning individual laboratories and relocating smaller research groups.

Contact information and links to supporting documents are listed at the end of the page.
