Greening the ICT sector has emerged as a critical endeavour in our increasingly digitalised society.

With the rapid growth of ICT infrastructure and digital devices, concerns about their environmental impact have come to the forefront. This movement seeks to mitigate the carbon footprint of ICT systems by focusing on energy efficiency, sustainable practices, and responsible product lifecycles. By greening the ICT sector, we not only reduce the environmental burden but also harness the potential of technology to drive a more eco-conscious and responsible digital future.

Ada Lovelace Day is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths which aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and create new role models for both girls and women studying or working in STEM.
