The Digital and Environment Programme is based on four pillars: digital for the environment, eco-responsible digital, scientific mediation, and the environmental impact of our organisation, our way of working and conducting research.
Associated national strategy: Eco-responsible digital, Agroecology, decarbonisation industry/mobility/agriculture
National coordinator of Digital and Environment Programme: Jacques Sainte-Marie
Structural public funding:
- PEPR Future of agroecology
- So.Num project (Digital Sobriety – with ADEME and EcoInfo) on the development of educational content for training/awareness raising on digital sobriety and eco-design
- Possibly: PEPR Digital eco-responsible (under arbitration)
Verbatim
One of the main challenges of our Digital and Environment Programme is to learn to work in a more constrained world, with limited resources. A world where we will have to build things that are much more sustainable, more recyclable and resilient. And digital technology must play a part in this. We are not just talking about optimisation. We need deep changes in upstream design, including fundamental computing, to build an eco-responsible and resilient world. This considerably shifts the focus of our research activities and forces us to ask ourselves new questions: what digital tools and services?
