[EN] English Edition: "Green computing" had a strong showing at the annual conference for Research Software Engineering in Newcastle, UK, early September 2024. I talk to the presenters, poster creator and organisers of the birds of the feather session on the subject. In addition you hear from Charlotte Pascoe and Poppy Townsend from the UKRI on their project to get us to net zero. And finally, from the platinum sponsor of the conference: CloudKubed https://www.cloudkubed.com.

Also note https://eng.ox.ac.uk/netdrive/ from UKRI, who work towards a sustainable, digital research infrastructure.
