AI 中文总结
本研究以STFC科学计算部门为案例，阐述其制定数字研究基础设施可持续性战略的过程，为其他相关部门提供可借鉴的模板，助力落实英国净零目标。
AI 中文摘要
将数字研究基础设施（DRI）改造以符合英国净零目标，需要该领域组织采取重大行动。尽管存在高层战略和建议，但如何将其转化为具体成果并不总是明确。本文呈现了来自科学与技术设施委员会（STFC）科学计算部门（SCD）的案例研究，该部门由200多名员工组成，为数万名研究人员提供支持，覆盖大量云与高性能计算基础设施，以及计算生物学、材料科学、工程和数学领域的多样化软件生态系统。我们展示了如何围绕排放监测、用户教育、最佳实践、设定可持续性标准及为可持续性工作提供长期支持等主题，制定SCD的可持续性战略；探讨了建立该战略过程中的成功经验与困难，以及这如何可作为其他部门和设施的模板。
英文摘要
Transforming digital research infrastructure (DRI) to align with UK Net Zero targets requires significant action from organisations in this space. Although high level strategies and recommendations exist, it is not always obvious how to translate these into concrete results. Here we present a case study from the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Scientific Computing Department (SCD). This department consists of over 200 staff supporting tens of thousands of researchers, and is spread over significant cloud and high performance computing infrastructure, as well as a diverse ecosystem of software across computational biology, materials science, engineering, and mathematics. We show how we developed the sustainability strategy for SCD across themes of emissions monitoring, user education, best practice, setting sustainability standards, and providing long-term support to sustainability work. We discuss the successes and difficulties in establishing this strategy, and how this could serve as a template for other departments and facilities.
