New technologies and solutions for reducing the environmental and climate footprint of research infrastructures
by
GreenDIGIT (https://greendigit-project.eu/) is a Horizon Europe project that started in March 2024 to pursue environmental sustainability within digital services and service ecosystems that research infrastructures (RIs) rely on. GreenDIGIT brings together institutes from 4 digital RIs: EGI, SLICES, EBRAINS, and SoBigData to address the pressing need for sustainable practices in digital service provisioning. The efforts of the project include developing reference architectures, design principles, and innovative tools to monitor and reduce the energy use in digital RIs, while promoting environmentally conscious applications towards their research users. Through education, policy recommendations, and technical support, GreenDIGIT aims to foster a culture of environmental sustainability among researchers and providers, ultimately aiding climate change mitigation. This talk will provide an overview about the results of GreenDIGIT, and about the opportunities the project offers for data centers and software providers to join its mission.
