WHY INFORMATICS & CLEAN ENERGY?
Clean Informatics (http://www.cleaninformatics.com/) is a blog capturing news, views and logging innovations on how Informatics and Computer Science can help deliver a low-carbon economy.
Informatics in Scotland has a significant contribution to make to our clean energy future. The University of Edinburgh views Informatics as a discipline central to a new enlightenment in scholarship and learning, and critical to the future development of all areas of science, technology and society. From 3D imaging of the seabed, to the mathematics behind fuel cells, to low-power consumption computer processors, to energy software management, to modeling climate change; Informatics is innovating in many dimensions of the clean energy challenges facing our planet, society and global economy.
This Clean Energy workshop is being delivered with network support in the "entrepreneurial ecosystem" with MBM Commercial LLP, the Scottish European Green Energy Centre (SEGEC) and the Scottish Informatics & Computer Science Alliance (SICSA).
