• On the intervention : 

In the face of our current ecological crisis, technological improvements are often presented as a solution to tackle it. The IT industry, however, is also known to drive and be driven by a capitalist growth model which incites overconsumption. Not to mention the IT sector's own baggage of environmental impacts, contributing to approximately 4% of global GHG emissions !

An increasing number of researchers, engineers, and citizens are therefore calling for more sober, simple, and sustainable technologies to tackle the transition towards a circular economy. With this in mind, Jean-Brieuc will explain how to ecodesign your electronic systems, reduce their environmental impacts and increase the robustness of your designs and businesses by covering the following topics:

• • Why ecodesigning your electronic systems?
  • Ecodesign principles applied to our economic reality
  • How to measure and reduce your design environmental impact?
  • How to make money out of your ecodesign initiatives?
  • Illustrations - Overview of existing & inspiring initiatives
