Green Project

 

We are proud to present the 18-ICML Green Project.

 

ICML is committed to being a “climate conscious event”.

 

To partially compensate for the carbon emissions of our conference, as of 2019 our Organising Committee has been supporting projects aiming at combating climate change, protecting biodiversity and promoting sustainable technology.

In particular, 18-ICML will support the upgrade of the photovoltaic plant at the Centre for Molecular Immunology (CIM), located in Havana, Cuba.

 

CIM is a research institute that focuses on the research and production of new biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of cancer and other non-communicable diseases. The Centre's basic research projects focus on cancer immunotherapy, and in particular the development of molecular vaccines.

 

The first stage of the project will begin in the course of 2024 to supplement the existing plant on the Centre's roofs with new solar panels, capable of generating 60 kWp of power, which will be available to the research laboratories.
