The University of Lagos (UNILAG) and the African Engineering and Technology Network (AFRETEC), have stepped up efforts to promote environmentally responsible software development, with plans to integrate sustainability into software engineering curricula to equip future technology professionals with skills needed to address climate change and drive sustainable digital transformation.
The initiative was highlighted recently at the opening of the third edition of the five-day Green and Sustainable Software Engineering Summer School, organised by AFRETEC, in collaboration with the UNILAG Software Engineering for Green Deal Africa (SE4GD) Hub.
The summer school, which which will run from June 22 to 26, is expected to deepen discussions on climate change, sustainable software architecture and the role of technology in advancing Africa’s development agenda.
