鈥淐reating a New Reality: A Sustainable Digital Transformation.鈥
Following the pre-announcement circulated earlier, we are pleased to share further information about the upcoming NetDRIVE* meeting, 鈥淐reating a New Reality: A Sustainable Digital Transformation.鈥
This meeting is part of the鈥疦etDRIVE鈥痯roject, which focuses on delivering authoritative advice to UK Research and Innovation on sustainable digital research infrastructure. It will promote discussion on the shape, constraints, and opportunities of the emerging UK power supply, alongside broader questions of community leadership, scientific credibility, and digital transformation in 91探花 of net zero.
Keynote speakers will include (additional speakers to be confirmed):

Expected outputs
鈥&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫; Recommendations on a framework for defining and implementing net zero, including approaches to balancing unavoidable emissions. The aim is not to re-review technical options, but to summarise available and emerging approaches and how these may inform infrastructure procurement policy.
鈥&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫; Draft recommendations on the use of flexible approaches to siting and operating infrastructure to reduce carbon footprint and costs.
鈥&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫; Recommendations for enhancing opportunities for postdoctoral researchers to engage in the development of sustainable digital research infrastructure. Poster sessions will form part of the programme (details to follow).

The NetDRIVE team
* The Network for Sustainable Digital Research Infrastructure Vision and Expertise (NetDRIVE) will bring together creative thinking from across UKRI to enable change through technological progress, to build a common vision of a sustainable future, and to incite a transition to sustainable working practices in the Digital research infrastructure (DRI) communities. The project will provide leadership in the UK and globally, exploiting the strength-in depth of a centuries long tradition of academic institutions driving change for societal benefit.
