The Network for sustainable Digital Research Infrastructure Vision and Expertise (NetDRIVE) has been set up to provide a forum for managers, software engineers, academics and others to come together to build a common vision for a sustainable future and to incite a transition to sustainable working practices in the Digital Research Infrastructure communities.
Upcoming event
NetDRIVE: Priorities and Ethics of Research Computing Investments
This meeting will initiate NetDRIVE Stage 2 and will address the following three questions:
- How can we maintain competitive computing capability when we have 10-fold increase per decade in the price of a competitive machine?
- How do we manage ethical issues around a national compute resource together with associated data?
- How do we develop the new skills needed both for rapidly advancing technology and evolving sustainability targets?
The meeting will be held over Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, with an evening social event.
Hosted by Queen Mary University of London.

The NetDRIVE network invited all interested communities to a two-day workshop focused on inciting and leading transformational change in our research computing culture.
The workshops offered an engaging opportunity to interact with leaders in service delivery, creative thinking, team building, and advocacy to share best practices and innovative ideas to accelerate the delivery of the change we need.
