Welcome!
It's often said that the campus networks are often the weakest link in the chain of end-to-end services needed for research and education. It's also said that the IT systems used in research and education waste energy. As strongest links in the chain we as NRENs are placed to change views and make a difference.

Meeting objectives
Aim of the meeting is to create a launching path for an independent Special Interest Group (SIG) on the topics of Campus Best Practice and Sustainability by defining the scope, roles, and purposes of this new emerging group. 

Target Audience
The meeting is open to everyone and more specific to individuals from NRENs that are currently active in the GN4 Green ICT or Campus Best Practice groups or groups who are taking an interest in bringing 'best practices in IT networks and Green ICT to their research and education constituencies. 

Engagement Preparations
Discuss your mandate, engagement and role set with your NREN management. There will be a voting for the selection of the Steering Commission during the meeting as well as a survey to decide on the name of the SIG. All suggestions are welcome.  A draft charter can be found under the quick links of this page for further preparation purposes.
