The Pyramid
International Laboratory
The Pyramid International Laboratory is a high altitude scientific research center.
It is located at 5.050 m a.s.l., in the Khumbu valley, within the Sagarmatha National Park, at the base of the Nepalese side of Mount Everest.
Since its founding in 1990, the Pyramid Laboratory provides the international scientific community with a priceless opportunity to study environment, climate, human physiology and geology in a remote protected mountain area. The Pyramid is now jointly managed by EvK2Minoprio and Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST).
To date, 580 scientific missions have been carried out by 220 researchers from over 170 different Scientific Institutions in different countries.
The main research fields are: Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Medicine and Physiology, Anthropology, Development of new technologies.

Mountains
Ecosystems to be preserved
for the protection of the entire planet
Mountains are defined as the “sentinels of environmental change”: they respond more quickly and intensively to changes in climate, such changes may cause the loss of essential ecosystem services, threatening the well-being of a significant part of the world population that depends on mountain resources.

EvK2Minoprio
Scientific Research and Sustainable Development in mountain environments.
EvK2Minoprio was born from the encounter between project, professionals and researchers of EvK2Cnr and Minoprio Foundation, a prestigious institution of Lombardy dedicated to agricultural and environmental studies, education and knowledge.
EvK2Minoprio’s objective is to give life to scientific research projects, sustainable development and scientific and cultural activities aimed at providing concrete and tangible support to the improvement of well-being, quality of life and opportunities for mountain populations, as well as the protection and enhancement of its natural resources, acquiring at the same time scientific information on climate change and on programs for adapting to them.
