Ctrl + Alt + Deleting Our Digital Clutter: UCC's Digital Tidy Towns Initiative

It began with a chat between a curious postdoc researcher and a member of UCC’s Continuous Improvement Network about digital sustainability. That conversation sparked the creation of a cross-campus Digital Tidy Towns Committee and UCC’s inaugural Digital Cleanup Initiative with over 1,200 hours pledged by staff.

Co-led by the Continuous Improvement Network and Students' Union, this initiative inspired staff and students to consider their digital footprint, rethink their digital habits and reduce clutter.

Join us to explore how this grassroots collaboration, supported by an ‘inbox zero, carbon hero’ raised awareness of our digital footprint and created meaningful change.
