This online seminar series, “From Chiptainability to Green ICT”, explores how sustainable chip design can act as a key enabler for environmentally responsible ICT systems and digital infrastructures.Specifically, it highlights the dual objective of reducing the environmental footprint of microelectronics while increasing the positive “handprint” of ICT through innovative applications.

Moderated by leading experts from industry and academia, the seminar brings together multidisciplinary perspectives to address practical implementation strategies, open challenges, and technology transfer from research to real-world deployment.

The programme structured a recurring webinar series combining expert talks and interactive discussions, fostering knowledge exchange, collaboration, and critical engagement among researchers, students, and professionals.

Key topics include sustainable chip design methodologies, CO₂ footprint reduction, and the broader role of Green ICT across the digital ecosystem, including software, networks, and system operations.

The online seminar starts at 16:00 (CET) sharp. Each seminar talk runs from 16:00 to 17:00 and includes an interactive discussion session. The link to the online room will be sent to registered participants :
