Green ICT and ICT for Green Workshop
As part of the ECSS 2023 program, Informatics Europe organised the Workshop with the theme "Green ICT and ICT for Green" on Wednesday afternoon, 25 October, open to all participants and chaired by Marco Aiello, University of Stuttgart.
ICT is responsible for a considerable amount of global energy usage and consequent emissions, at the same time, ICT solutions can help make systems more sustainable and efficient. In this session, which was organized as a panel and following open discussion, the panellists addressed both technical and societal issues related to Green ICT, with a particular focus on what are relevant research directions and what Europe could do at the policy level to improve on Green ICT and take advantage of it.
