Digital transformation in the energy sector within the Horizon Europe programme

Sustainability-aware architecting for the future cloud

We developed an archive populated with tactics for a sustainable cloud for the built environment.

This is an archive that captures reusable (software and not only) tactics, open for everybody to learn and contribute. It is an initiative of the VU Digital Sustainability Center and the S2 Research Group.

This is an inter-disciplinary collaboration between researchers of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and University of Twente

Interconnect (Horizon2020) aims to achieve a relevant milestone in the democratization of efficient energy management, through a flexible and interoperable ecosystem.

GraphMassivizer (Horizon2020) aims at supporting extreme and sustainable graph processing for urgent societal challenges in Europe using serverless Cloud computing.

CloudStars provides the best cost, performance, and energy tradeoffs in Cloud Computing infrastructures.

ExtremeXP (Horizon Europe) aims to provide accurate, energy-efficient, fit-for-purpose, and trustworthy data-driven insights via evaluating different complex analytics variants, considering end users’ preferences and feedback in an automated way.

This project researches the sustainability of cloud computing, by identifying the related social, technical and environmental risks and benefits, and complementing them with examples of possible countermeasures. It is funded by the Network Insitute of the VU as an Academy Project for 2022.
