Introduction (9:15–9:30 CET)
Keynotes (9:30–10:45 CET)
Chair: Adrien Luxey-Bitri (Université de Lille)
1. Governing infrastructures: keeping compute infrastructures within planetary boundaries
Speaker: Fieke Jansen | Slides
Fieke Jansen is a postdoc researcher at the Media Studies Department and a co-principal investigator with the critical infrastructure lab at the University of Amsterdam. Her research interest lie in understanding how the material impact of expanding infrastructures is shaping the management, distribution, and depletion of natural resources.
2. Carbon and water footprints of computing infrastructures: evaluations and tendencies
Speaker: Anne-Cécile Orgerie | Slides
Anne-Cécile Orgerie is research scientist in computer science at CNRS in the IRISA laboratory in Rennes. She belongs to a team working on large-scale distributed systems, including Cloud and Edge computing. Her research topics focus on measuring, modeling, simulating and reducing the energy consumption of distributed systems, and more broadly on evaluating and limiting their environmental impacts.
1st Session (10:45–12:15 CET)
Chair: Baptiste Jonglez (Inria)
Local-First Software: An Energy-Efficient Alternative to Cloud-Centric SaaS Architectures — Lylian Siffre, Thomas Ledoux, Renaud Pawlak, John Guery (25 min)

Breakout discussion (40 min)
2nd Session (13:30–15:30 CET)
Chair: Erwan Bousse (Nantes Université)

The environmental footprint of data storage or what can lie behind a gigabyte — Adrien Berthelot, Daniel Schien (25 min)
- Article
- Question: Can the size of an “individual datasphere” of a person be a good proxy for its use and/or digital sufficiency limit?
- Question: Can a complex infrastructure like a distributed online storage exist within planetary boundaries or a paradigm of digital sufficiency?
Breakout discussion (50 min)
Group report (20 min)
