Highlights of the Green ICT Connect 2024
»Green ICT Award«
The "Green ICT Award" was presented on October 16. This award is presented annually to bachelor's and master's theses on resource-saving information and communication technology (ICT).
Breakfast for women scientists
On October 17, the breakfast was a special opportunity for women from the industry to present their development opportunities to female students and young professionals.
What it is about
The digital transformation in industry, business, and society and the increasing complexity of multifunctional microelectronic systems are leading to rising data volumes and resource and energy consumption. Against this backdrop and the background of climate protection targets, the development of electronic systems and ICT faces the challenge of sustainably reducing energy and resource requirements and making technologies more efficient.
High-ranking representatives will meet for the second time at Green ICT Connect 2024 to initiate an exchange on resource conservation in ICT between science, industry, and politics. Exciting information on research activities and scientific and industry cooperation on sustainability in ICT will be discussed. In more than 70 timeslots, the speakers will present their ideas and challenges relating to energy efficiency, decarbonization, and life cycle assessment in green ICT on abstract problems and, together with the other participants, find application-oriented solutions for cooperation between research and industry.
