The School of Clinical Medicine - Climate and Sustainability webinar

Dr Loic Lannelongue will give a talk on Green Algorithms, Green DiSC and GREENER principles: making computational science more environmentally sustainable.

From genetic studies and astrophysics simulations to AI, scientific computing has enabled amazing discoveries and there is no doubt it will continue to do so. However, the corresponding environmental impact is a growing concern in light of the urgency of the climate crisis, so what can we all do about it? Tackling this issue and making it easier for scientists to engage with sustainable computing is what motivated the Green Algorithms project. Through the prism of the GREENER principles for environmentally sustainable science, we will discuss what we learned along the way, how to estimate the impact of our work and what hurdles still exist. It will also be a chance to highlight how the new Green DiSC certification framework can support scientists and institutions in making their research more sustainable.

This is the seventh in a programme of webinars on climate and sustainability run by the School through the year. These are informing the work of the School of Clinical Medicine Climate and Sustainability Action Group, chaired by Professor Ed Bullmore, deputy Head of School. They will support the School, its departments, and the wider University to accelerate action on climate change and do all we can to become sustainable in our work.

The webinars are open to all University staff and students. Please confirm your attendance via responding to the email below.
