Projects on Centre for Environmental Data Analysis

UKRI Net-Zero Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) Scoping Project

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Initial Project Aim

Our initial aim was to provide a clear roadmap to deliver carbon neutral digital research infrastructure (DRI) by 2040 or earlier. This covers the entire DRI estate for UK Research and Innovation. the core project team at CEDA was to lead an initial, 18-month UKRI-wide study to survey the digital carbon landscape, run a set of demonstrators and develop a roadmap to ensure that our data infrastructure can achieve net zero. Taking a systems-based approach, CEDA would work to develop adaptation strategies for the way data is conserved, analysed and managed.
