Digital Cleanup Day at RWTH
by Kaulbach, Lina-Louise 13 Mar '25

Dear RDM Community at RWTH, As we approach the International Digital Cleanup Day on March 15, 2025, we encourage you to join us in our efforts to reduce digital waste. Understanding the impact of our digital activities on energy consumption is critical. Every year, digital data generates approximately 900 million tonnes of CO2. Digital Cleanup focuses on sorting and deleting unnecessary files to save storage space and resources. While effective Research Data Management aims to anticipate data deletion from the outset, practical challenges often arise. Implementing good RDM practices can greatly simplify future cleanup efforts. For insights into why cleaning up is essential in Research Data Management and how effective RDM can help, please see our handout: https://www.rwth-aachen.de/global/show_document.asp?id=aaaaaaaacuiuiww&down… <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/global/show_document.asp?id=aaaaaaaacuiuiww&down…> For more tips on reducing data waste at RWTH, visit the website of Sustainability and University Governance: https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Die-RWTH/Nachhaltigkeit/Aktiv-werden/~b… <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Die-RWTH/Nachhaltigkeit/Aktiv-werden/~b…> If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We look forward to your participation!
