The term digital research infrastructure (DRI) includes a very broad range of infrastructure, from personal devices to high-end servers and commercial cloud computing resources. This hampers efforts to understand and reduce the emissions associated with research activities.
The Day 0 workshop will provide insight into and expand on recent efforts to understand what skills are needed to empower researchers and other digital research technical professionals to make and advocate for positive impact in using DRI for research.
