DARIAH ERIC publishes Environmental Guidelines

The DARIAH Board of Directors has approved the DARIAH Goes Green: Internal Environmental Guidelines which can now be consulted on our website. The Green Guidelines were written by Agiatis Benardou, President of the DARIAH-EU Board of Directors, and Anne Baillot, Research Fellow in DARIAH, with contributions from the DARIAH Board of Directors, the DARIAH Coordination Office, the Scientific Board and the Joint Research Committee.

The document is intended as a practical starting point in reducing our environmental impact by targeting areas where the DARIAH Coordination Office has direct influence (e.g. travel, data storage, communication practices). These internal guidelines are subject to evolution based on feedback, capacity, and measurable progress.

The core principles of these guidelines are:

• Transparency over greenwashing: We acknowledge our footprint and aim to mitigate it at the source.

• We understand that not all members across Europe operate with equal resources and flexibility.

• We target areas where the DCO has direct influence.
