description: This document contains all presentation slides that were presented during the Project Partner webinars, hosted by the UKRI Net Zero DRI Scoping Project team in early 2023. Pages 1-85 show slides for webinar 1. Page 86 onwards are the slides that were presented during webinar 2. Recordings of the webinars can be found here: Webinar 1 - technical and operational challenges Webinar 2 - community and organisational challenges <strong>Further details about the webinars: </strong> The UKRI Net Zero Digital Research Infrastructure Scoping Project (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/) team hosted two webinars to share the outcomes of work undertaken by our project partners (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/project-activities/). These pieces of work have been undertaken by over 40 researchers from 20 different institutions over the last ~6 months. Both webinars provided an opportunity for the wider research community to engage with and discuss the project outcomes. Webinar 1 covered technical and operational challenges such as: hardware procurement, design and architecture of infrastructure, cloud platforms, consolidation, power management and efficiency, end-of-life, and carbon capture and offsetting. Speakers presented from the following project partners: - CarbonQuanDRI: developing a measurement trace capturing various sustainability aspects in the operation of a DRI service, including dependencies between different indicators (e.g. data flow, power consumption, and carbon intensity) (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/cquandri/) - IRISCAST: auditing energy usage of the IRIS DRI via snap-hot data capture (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/iriscast/) - Energetic: exploring energy-to-solution consumption in High Performance Computing (HPC) (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/energetic/) - HPC-Jeep: informing efficient, environmentally conscientious use of HPC resources – ARCHER2 and DiRAC (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/hpc-jeep/) - Mapping the DRI: collating a representative sample of the DRI using the UKRI InfraPortal (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/mapping/) - Case studies update – detailed analysis for the following infrastructures: JASMIN, Archer2, Jade, Scafell Pike Webinar 2 covered community and organisational challenges such as: user facing services, data management, behaviour change, training, proportionality of energy use, the risks of negative impacts, and monitoring and driving change. Speakers presented from the following project partners: - Arinzrit: mapping the DRI policy and practice landscape (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/arinzrit/) - Value: developing recommendations for evaluating carbon emissions vs output ‘value’ to support UKRI decision-making (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/value/) - Go Zero: empowering the research community to take ownership of Net Zero (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/go-zero/) - DRI User Behaviour Survey: identifying implicit attitudes to environmental sustainability and gathered information about existing sustainable usage of DRI (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/user-behaviour-survey/) - Art to inspire collective action on sustainable digital research infrastructure: the progress so far and how you can get involved (https://net-zero-dri.ceda.ac.uk/art-commission/)<br>
