Green Informatics

The department's commitment to green informatics include methods, technology or processes that enable sustainable and digital transformation.

What is green informatics?

Here “green” is to be understood as environmental sustainability, while “informatics” is interpreted broadly, including electronic and physical systems, interdisciplinary perspectives on the use of information technology, digital transformation and entrepreneurship.

The prioritised subject areas for the Department of Informatics all support green informatics. This includes digitalisation, information security, IT didactics in school, machine learning and artificial intelligence, as well as societal challenges such as energy and health.
