Adi Keinan-SchoonbaertTwo new publications from the #DHCC just came out to help DH practitioners and researchers more widely make their research projects more environmentally sustainable! One is a guidance the other is a self-assessment tool:

Interpreting UKRI Environmental Sustainability Guidance for the Digital Humanities (v2.1)
Funders set expectations around research practice. This extends to how research impacts wider society and the environment. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have published a sustainability strategy and is a signatory of a cross-sector environmental sustainability concordat, and in December 2024, the AHRC Research Funding Guide was updated to include for the first time a statement on environmental responsibility. For net zero goals to be achieved, those involved in research need to play their part. However, funder expectations have not yet been matched by resources that help applicants adapt their research practices to support environmental and ecological sustainability. This document offers interpretations of current guidance on research and innovation practice and directs readers to advice on operationalising sustainable approaches. Our interpretations draw on the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition Toolkit, an extensive and evolving resource that provides guidance on making research practices more environmentally responsible. As such, the document is aimed primarily at Digital Humanities practitioners, researchers, technicians, curators, software engineers, and related professionals, though we anticipate it will be useful to those working across the entire UKRI remit. The purpose of the document is to inspire confidence that climate conscious work is aligned with funder priorities, that environmental actions are integral to research excellence, and that pushing back against impediments to action is justified and justifiable.

Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "London in full swing 🇬🇧 Wandering the city and it's like stepping into a film - red phone boxes glowing at night, buses streaking past in long exposures, the Thames throwing back every colour the skyline could manage. Even the side streets had their own personality: graffiti walls, hidden alleys, little pockets of chaos and charm that make the city alive. London spans over 607 square miles and is made up of 32 boroughs, each with its own character, pace and identity. You can drift from King’s Cross into the British Library and ended up losing track of time in their hybrid library‑museum world - the kind of place where you go in for a breather and come out feeling like you’ve walked through a century. Proper country‑girl‑in‑the‑city moment, wandering around. Inside the British Library’s hybrid library‑museum space: • A full book‑museum vibe tucked inside a working national library • Artist books displayed like sculptures • A historic printing press set up like it’s ready to run again • Book‑themed installations and creative benches • Cultural exhibits that feel like tiny worlds of their own • Shelves of rare manuscripts and archives you can feel humming with history Then it was straight back into the rhythm again. King’s Cross itself is a whole experience – the rush of people, the architecture, the constant movement. Trains pulling in and out, the roof catching the light, the whole place buzzing like it’s the city’s heartbeat. King’s Cross energy: • Platforms humming with commuters, tourists, and people in a hurry to be somewhere • That huge arched roof turning the station into a cathedral of steel and light • Carriages with countryside views sliding past like paintings And somewhere between the river, the bridges and the people you can see the London Eye! Definitely not a sight you can miss and a reminder that the city has layers and if you’re not paying attention you’ll miss them. Nights spilled into neon, reflections on wet pavements, the city switching on as the sun dipped. Days stitched together in shutter clicks – sights, stations, night energy, and all the in‑between moments that make London feel like it’s always in motion."
