Green IT at the University of Regensburg - Our activities
The University of Regensburg is one of two project leaders in the Bavaria-wide Green-IT project, which was initiated by the Digitalverbund Bavaria (external link, opens in a new window) and is funded by the StMWK.
The BayZeN Green IT working group (external link, opens in a new window) was founded to ensure an exchange on the topic of Green IT. Thanks to the good cooperation with the Green Office (external link, opens in a new window), Climate Protection Management and the Sustainability Council of the University of Regensburg (external link, opens in a new window) and with external support, such as the Regensburg Energy Agency (external link, opens in a new window), the university is becoming more sustainable step by step.
The University of Regensburg Computer Center has also set itself the goal of designing sustainable IT products and IT services. In order to achieve this goal, efforts are being made in the areas of the computer centre, users and procurement.
