GoForIT
The world faces significant environmental challenges where IT plays a central role, both as part of the problem and as part of the solution. The workforce and IT education must determine the necessary skills for strategic sustainability initiatives in the workplace and for IT education programs to successfully train candidates with relevant expertise. Excited actively participates in GoForIT, a collaboration between NTNU (Department of Computer Science and Informatics), the University of Agder, Bouvet ASA, and IKT Norge, inviting a collective effort for sustainability through collaboration between academia and the IT industry.
