  • Influence European digital policies with a focus on sustainability.

Key activities:

  • Structured curriculum on Green Software Engineering (GSE) in HEIs;
  • Open-access digital platform providing learning materials;
  • Competitions, awards, and mentorship engaging students in real-world sustainability challenges;
  • Educator training programs to enhance teaching in green coding and GSE;
  • Awareness-raising among HEIs, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to support curriculum integration and policy changes;
  • Building synergies between HEIs and the tech industry aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Expected results:

  • Systemic change in higher education through the integration of Green Software Engineering and green coding;
  • Development of a sustainability-focused curriculum equipping students with essential skills;
  • Establishment of the GREENByte Hub, an open-access digital platform with resources and support;
  • Students tackle real-world sustainability challenges through Byte4Green Battles and mentorship;
  • Educator training to improve GSE teaching;
  • Policy Vademecum promoting curriculum integration and industry collaboration.
