Grassroots of Digital Europe

Sustainability in Creative Computing

Currently, there is an increasing concern about sustainability and robustness of complex infrastructures upon which many of our day-to-day activities depend. In the European Union, the term circular economy is a well-established element of the European Green Deal, describing a transformation towards greater sustainability and waste reduction. 

Many of us work in fields related to creative computing, and have spent time researching the right to repair and other sustainable practices related to creative computing.

These open educational  materials were created to provide an opportunity to educators and learners to explore these ideas based on practical examples and accessible activities:

What is COST?

European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

COST Action CA21141

COST Action CA21141 seeks to foster a better understanding of the role of grassroots digital movements related to creative computing across Europe and to develop an integrated approach to its study.

GRADE focuses on user communities, their interaction with state and European-level policies, and the preservation of digital cultural heritage.
