“After more than two years developing and testing Green DiSC, it's inspiring to see the first round of certified teams show us the research community is stepping up and signalling that we cannot afford to ignore the environmental impacts of digital research.” - Green DiSC Lead @loiclnlg.bsky.social
Teams awarded the first Bronze Green DiSC certificates. (left to right, top to bottom): Vasilios Andrikopoulos, Elisabeth Wilhelm, Robert Pollice, Brian Setz (University of Groningen), Jacob Househam and the Data Science Team (Institute of Cancer Research), Francesco Lescai and the Laboratory of Computational Genomics (University of Pavia)
