Applications are now open for our Sustainable Communities Grants, offered in our home community of , IL, in partnership with our colleagues at UL Standards & Engagement, and ’s Office of Neighborhood and Community Relations.

This program supports community‑driven projects that advance environmental stewardship, improve resource efficiency, and strengthen local sustainability efforts. Two grants of $5,000 each will support eligible projects aligned with the goals of the program.

Last year, the program awarded funding to , to expand access to free, locally grown produce through neighborhood farm stands and , to launch a youth-led initiative focused on litter reduction and environmental awareness.

We are excited to share a donation to our partner, Northwestern University of to support the mission of Northwestern's Research Safety Student Initiative to promote lab safety on campus. Stuart Miller, Vice President and Executive Director of ULRI's Materials Discovery Research Institute, and Michael Blayney, Senior Director, Health, Safety and Environment at ULRI, had the honor of joining an RSSI meeting earlier this month to kick off Research Safety Awareness Week.
Thanks again to Northwestern and RSSI for having us!

In our new series, we go into the lab to highlight several of our Institute researchers. Today, learn more about our Materials Discovery Research Institute Lead Data Scientist, Akshay Talekar.

At the Materials Discovery lab, we work to develop and deploy new materials with the potential to address current global safety challenges. We harness the power of advanced computing and high-throughput experimental methods to create innovative materials for renewable energy and eco-remidation, while also paying careful attention to implications for human health.

Migo Szeman Ng believes the clean energy conversation extends beyond deployment. 
 
That’s why she is researching the circularity and end-of-life considerations for batteries at our Electrochemical Safety Research Institute.  
 
Ng is also focused on translating for the next generation through education and volunteer efforts, embodying this year’s theme of shaping a sustainable future. 
 
Read interviews with Ng and other ULRI women powering the clean energy transition at UL.org.
