WLCG Sustainability Forum Meeting #8: International projects and collaborations

Wednesday 28 Oct 2026, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Zurich

Zoom only

Caterina Doglioni (The University of Manchester (GB)), David Britton (University of Glasgow (GB)), Domenico Giordano (CERN)

In this meeting, we will survey the landscape of projects with involvement of WLCG members/sites. We will be starting with the ENSURE project, and we have invited the RF2.0 and SusFecit projects. We will then plan the next steps of our work to stay in sync with them. 

If you have another project that is relevant to the WLCG sustainability objectives that you'd like us to connect with, please get in touch at wlcg-sustainability-forum-coordination@cern.ch.

16:35 → 17:00 Discussion

Some big-picture starting questions:
* How can these projects help the WLCG environmental sustainability goals? How can WLCG help these projects succeed?
* How do we best treat the (national/European) identity of these projects vs the global (international) nature of WLCG?

More practical questions:
* Are the deliverables of these projects aligned in time / topic with WLCG environmental sustainability goals?
