How can large digital (research) infrastructures, such as the Alps supercomputer, be harmonised with sustainability goals? The keynote input by Prof. Jan Bieser (BFH) will be followed by a lively discussion with invited experts from the Swiss research landscape. At the core of the discussion stands the examination of the social, ecological and economic costs of research and how these can be navigated with scientific goals. The event is organized by the Office for Sustainable Development and the Research Management Office under the auspices of the Vice-Rectorate Quality and Sustainable Development.
