ICTFOOTPRINT.eu is an EU Initiative, funded by the European Commission under H2020, wishes to make organisations and especially EU SMEs life easier in helping them understand how to become more ICT energy efficient to ultimately reduce their ICT carbon footprint.

Supporting ICTFOOTPRINT.eu are a group of highly qualified, international experts dedicated to improving energy efficiency in ICT. Together, they form the External Advisory Group (EAG).

All members hold influential positions covering the ICT industry, Standard Development, and Policy and Regulatory roles from around the globe.

Members will contribute to specific ICT methodologies  that ICTFOOTPRINT.eu will adopt and roll-out as services for small businesses. With these members the ICTFOOTPRINT.eu consortia will provide some first take-away services on what is needed in the marketplace to raise awareness on carbon footprint methodologies and metrics in ICT.

More members will join EAG in during ICTFOOTPRINT.eu lifespan.
