Description

In the face of growing environmental impacts of computing, there is a legitimate request from researchers to identify what they can do about it. Green DiSC is an open access sustainability certification framework enabling researchers, labs and institutions to tackle the environmental impacts of their computing activities. It will be an opportunity to discuss the scheme, demonstrate how it can work, and showcase how it supports more environmentally sustainable computational research. We will also start by reflecting back on the inception of the scheme, and look ahead what’s coming next.
