The objective of the Climate Lab to drive innovative solutions and strategies for addressing climate change by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, advancing scientific research, and promoting the development and implementation of sustainable practices. Through partnerships with research institutions, industry, and policymakers, the Climate Lab aims to enhance resilience, mitigate environmental impacts, and support the transition towards a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.
One of the main tasks of this laboratory is to create, further develop, and maintain vitality in specific areas of activity to foster and adapt ecosystem climate innovations.
It is important to note that the Lithuanian Innovation Laboratory for Climate Action combines the expertise and resources of two institutions: the LAMMC (a research institution) and the VTKD (a higher education institution). Notably, the synergy between different fields of activity –agriculture and forestry at LAMMC, and engineering and design at VTDK – brings diverse expertise and addresses various needs within the value chain. For instance, VTDK’s expertise in biofuel research complements LAMMC’s focus on developing and implementing new technologies related to energy crops.
The Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry focuses on developing new technologies, products, and services in areas such as plant biopotential, sustainable forestry, plant protection, smart horticulture, soil quality and productivity, and genetics and plant breeding. The Centre also supports and promotes doctoral studies and startups, fosters cooperation between science and business, mobilises the community, and expands services to the public in these specific areas.
VTDK offers to stakeholders the infrastructure and expertise for research&services in the following fields: production of second and subsequent generations of biofuels (from waste and non-food raw materials); secondary use of industrial waste (technogenic feedstocks); solar energy as an alternative energy source; design services to bring a product to market (product package designing and prototyping; product/service branding); efficient use of resources and service costing methods in business.
