What is SCOPE?

SIG-SCOPE (Sustainable, Community, Practice, Exchange) is a special interest group linking like-minded professionals in the R&E community, to exchange experiences and foster new ideas in its mission to provide a leading forum for the advancement of IT practices in the R&E field.

SIG-SCOPE emerged out of a merger between two leading networking groups in the GÉANT project: Campus Best Practice and Green ICT. With a presence contribution of over 40 dedicated staff members; campus IT staff from over 50 national working groups; 200+ Best Practice documents and a wide range of tested and proven IT sustainability tools and templates, SCOPE provides a wealth of experience and resources to IT professionals such as your self. 

What do we do? How do we work?

SCOPE advances the skills of IT practitioners in Campus Computing and networks. Members exchange knowledge and ideas via regular online and face-to-face SIG meetings; organise in focus groups to produce best practice documents and reports,  stay on the edge by getting trained and pass on knowledge by providing training and workshops, share knowledge by giving presentations and lightning talks and develop new ideas through continuous dialogue.

Through our Activities Exchange Board we identify opportunities for mutually sharing work experiences perhaps in a Best Practice Document. The Exchange Board can only be accessed if you become a member.
