The Network for sustainable Digital Research Infrastructure Vision and Expertise (NetDRIVE) will bring together creative thinking from across UKRI to enable change through technological progress, to build a common vision of a sustainable future, and to incite a transition to sustainable working practices in the Digital research infrastructure (DRI) communities. The project will provide leadership in the UK and globally, exploiting the strength-in depth of a centuries long tradition of academic institutions driving change for societal benefit. 

NetDRIVE has recruited a cohort of champions to bring about change, representing a range of Research Council backgrounds spanning (i) machine rooms and computer architecture, (ii) green software engineering, (iii) inciting change, and (iv) a systems level view of organisational transformation.

Erinma Ochu has been appointed as the Storytelling Champion for 18 months and will commission a podcast series focused on the politics and moral dilemmas of the path to NetZero alongside a series of storytelling workshops and convening a working group on ethics and sustainable progress.
