ARINZRIT digital research infrastructure sustainability report published!

UK research increasingly relies on ‘digital research infrastructure’ (DRI): digital technologies and computational facilities from laptops to high-performance computing and large-scale data archives. DRI has an energy and carbon impact as a result of performing computational work (emissions scope 1), the energy needed to drive them and how this is generated (scope 2), and their manufacture and disposal (scope 3).  In our report, we outline our key findings and offer recommendations for more sustainable DRI policy and practice.  Our recommendations also demonstrate that interventions should not just be technical, but also to training, procurement and research culture!  Read more: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7966424.
