On November 25th and 26th, FONDA will host a workshop on reducing carbon emissions in large-scale computational data analysis with our co-organizers from the Quantitative Biology Center (QBiC), the bioinformatics core facility from the University of Tübingen.
Researchers from across Europe and the UK have been invited to present their research on monitoring and predicting the carbon footprint of large scale computational data analysis. This ongoing work promotes sustainability by providing information about how to reduce the carbon emissions of large scale data analysis and scientific workflows.
Location
Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Institute for Informatics:
Humboldt-Kabinett (1st floor seminar room)
