## Get in touch
## E-SCOUT

Tools like the Green Algorithms online calculator have proven useful for researchers, research software engineers, and organisations to understand the environmental impacts of their work, but some important questions remain: To what extent does carbon tracking incentivise green computing practices? Or how can we make sure it does?

The Environmentally Sustainable Computing User Trial of the Green Algorithms Initiative (E-SCOUT) aims to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of carbon reporting tools in reducing the environmental impacts of scientific computing. As part of the study, the effectiveness of different types of feedback will be compared for different user groups, leveraging a new open source dashboard for high-performance computing (HPC) built by the Cambridge Sustainable Computing Lab.

Reflecting its user-centred approach, E-SCOUT will use co-design throughout all stages to ensure that the feedback interventions are tailored to the users’ needs, goals and constraints. The Lab are also planning to set up a steering group that brings together people with diverse perspectives for reflection and decision-making.

If you work for a research performing organisation (RPO) that uses HPC and would be interested in getting involved, register your interest below. We also welcome interest from individuals for our steering group.

## About

The Green Algorithms Initiative is led by [Dr Loïc Lannelongue](https://cam-sustainablecomputing.org/members/Loic-Lannelongue.html), [Prof Michael Inouye](https://www.inouyelab.org/), and the [Cambridge Sustainable Computing Lab](https://cam-sustainablecomputing.org/) from the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom).

__Other Contributors__
- [Dr Jason Grealey](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=DiAlGKAAAAAJ&hl=en) (then: Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Melbourne, Australia) helped to start this project and led the survey of the carbon footprint of bioinformatics.
- Even Matencio ([GitHub](https://github.com/evenmatencio), [LinkedIn](https://www.green-algorithms.org/about/www.linkedin.com/in/evenmatencio)) (then: French Department for the Environment, Paris, France) developed the v3.0 of the calculator and in particular the AI view.
