DESCRIPTION:The environmental impact of computing is an increasingly import
 ant and recognised issue: growing demand for digital services\, data stora
 ge\, high-performance computing and Artifical Intelligence (AI) brings gre
 ater resource use (energy\, water\, metals\, etc.) and associated impacts 
 such as greenhouse gas emissions.\n\nAlthough public awareness is growing\
 , and active work is done by research institutions in implementing sustain
 ability into their policy\, at an individual level it can often be difficu
 lt to translate this problem into smaller\, practical actions that we can 
 take in our day-to-day work.\n\nThis series of “byte-sized” training e
 vents will offer four tailored sessions focused on practical actions that 
 participants can implement in their work to monitor\, minimise and report 
 its environmental impact. \n\n- **Green continuous integration and contin
 uous deployment (CI/CD)**\n- **Metrics for monitoring software emissions e
 fficiency**\n- **CATS: the Climate Aware Task Scheduler**\n- **nf-co2footp
 rint: estimating the carbon footprint of Nextflow pipelines**\n\nAll sessi
 ons will run independently\, and consist of an introductory lecture follow
 ed by hands-on tutorial. The introductory lecture will be recorded\, and r
 epurposed on-demand on the EMBL-EBI Training website.\n\nWe recommend watc
 hing the [“The environmental impacts of scientific computing”](https:
 //www.ebi.ac.uk/training/events/environmental-impacts-scientific-computing
 /) webinar prior to the event(s)\, as it provides a general introduction t
 o sustainable computing and helps placing the sessions into context.\n\nFo
 r more details on the programme and how to register\, browse to the “Pro
 gramme” and “How to apply” tabs. \n\nThe organisation of this event
  is supported by[ Wellcome Trust](https://wellcome.org/)\, the[ Universi
 ty of Cambridge](https://www.cam.ac.uk/)\, [NetDRIVE](https://uknetdrive.
