DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Giousef Alexandros Charinti & Antoine El-Hayek\nhosted
  by Jeroen Dobbelaere\nAbstract: Experimental research across all fields i
 s increasingly incorporating computing to analyze large datasets\, model m
 olecular dynamics\, and use AI models to identify new patterns. Whereas 10
  years ago these approaches were largely limited to computer scientists\, 
 today virtually every scientific discipline relies on computing on a daily
  basis. This evolution has been further accelerated by recent developments
  in the AI field\, which have made computing more accessible and easier to
  apply across different areas of research.Since experimental research alre
 ady has a substantial environmental footprint\, primarily from equipment 
 and consumables\, we aimed to assess the environmental footprint of c
 omputing at ISTA.Mapping the use of scientific computing at ISTA\, includ
 ing data storage and external services\, allowed us to calculate both ener
 gy consumption and material footprint. Although most laboratories use scie
 ntific computing\, usage can vary significantly depending on the type of p
 roject\, leading to big asymmetries in demand. In addition to active com
 puting\, data storage accounts for a considerable share of the overall foo
 tprint. External computing services were also analyzed and are increasin
 gly used\, largely driven by the adoption of AI tools. We present a first 
 estimate of the ISTA AI footprint and identify the tools most commonly use
 d. Although a fast-changing environment\, proper and responsible use of c
 omputing resources will be essential to ensure that research remains susta
 inable and fit for the future.
