EcoN'UM, UM's week dedicated to digital sobriety

Digital technology is an integral part of our daily lives, yet its environmental impact is often overlooked: the production of equipment, the energy consumption of servers, invisible digital pollution... Adopting more sober uses is a major challenge for the ecological transition.

With this in mind, the University of Montpellier is organizing EcoN'UM, an event dedicated to raising awareness and helping students adopt more responsible digital practices. Through a conference, resources and concrete actions, it offers students and staff the keys to a better understanding of these issues, and to adopting simple yet impactful gestures.

This initiative is fully in line with the university's commitment to ecological transition as part of its Master Plan. It aims to encourage collective reflection on our digital practices and explore solutions that are accessible to all.

Taking part in EcoN'UM is an opportunity to learn, understand and act together for a more sober and responsible digital world.
