About

A sustainable research computing culture is vital to ensure research institutions can meet their sustainability aims while supporting ever-increasing demands for computational capacity driven by modern research practices.

This talk, and the associated poster, will outline work underway at Imperial College London to foster a sustainable institutional research computing culture and create models that can be adopted elsewhere. Our approach centres on three pillars:

Community: Building community to develop shared understanding among researchers and technical professionals of sustainable computing practices, particularly as AI and high performance computing become increasingly prominent.

Education: Underpinned by the development of a new green and sustainable computing training course that delivers core knowledge and highlights best practices, providing a resource for cultural change.

Advocacy: Involves working with institutional leaders and sustainability teams to highlight practical improvements, large and small, alongside work with an artist to develop visual outputs that inspire broader engagement with sustainable IT.
