Groups

• Part of the ICT4S’24 Organizing Commitee as Sponsorship Chair.
• Part of the IRIT Ecological Transition Group where we think about the environmental footprint of our research lab and try to find actionable ways to reduce it. IRIT is part of the bigger-scale french initiative Labo1point5 providing resources and studying how we achieve this reduction.
