Data Management
Green Disc
In modern research, there is a lot of use of computers and long-term storage of data. This results in environmental impacts related to obtaining and storing this data. Therefore, this is a non-wet-lab area of research that could benefit from more sustainable practices. Green DiSC is an open-access certification scheme that helps to track the energy impact of these processes and thus provides insights into areas to reduce the associated environmental impact. Every department is involved via a representative for the data storage. Together, we work towards certification by aligning the in-house infrastructures and policies. Thereby, we hope to reduce the environmental impacts and create more streamlined and effective storage and use of collected research data.
We are developing this part of the sustainability, soon more info will be available
