GreenCode is the work of its partners, but it would not exist without the people who have supported it from afar, from the question that started it to the introductions, advice and conversations that shaped it. We would like to thank them here.
Our thanks go to the Carbon13 accelerator and to Professor Chris Coleridge of Cambridge Judge Business School, who inspired Chris Dean to answer the question: "What can your industry do to help address the climate crisis?" GreenCode is our answer for the software industry. Thank you also to Dr Nicky Dee of Carbon13 for her guidance in building out the project's climate case.
Thank you to ITEA, and particularly to Loes van den Borne and Linda van den Borne-Toupet of the ITEA Office's events and communications team, for their support in bringing this idea to the cluster for the first time.
Thank you to Belen Rebollo-Garcia, Knowledge Transfer Manager for European Programmes at the Knowledge Transfer Network, now Innovate UK Business Connect, and to Ben Morris, Eureka Programme Manager and UK National Project Coordinator at Innovate UK, for their introductions to ITEA and their support throughout the development of the project.
Thank you to Régis Cazenave, Vice-Chair of ITEA, and his colleague Bilge Özdemir of the ITEA Office, to the ITEA Steering Group and our progress reviewers Ingemar Söderquist and Lou Somers, to our ITEA mentor Christoph Niedermeier, and to Özgün Algın, formerly of the ITEA Office, who supported the project through its first year, for their support and advice as GreenCode has progressed.
GreenCode runs under the ITEA 4 programme of Eureka, and the partners' work is funded by public authorities in their own countries. Our thanks go to Innovate UK, Germany's Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), Innovation Fund Denmark, Portugal's Agência Nacional de Inovação (ANI), Spain's Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación (CDTI) and Türkiye's TÜBİTAK. The funding page explains how the project is supported.
We are equally grateful to our self-funded partners, BEIA GmbH in Austria and Siemens SRL in Romania, who take part in GreenCode at their own cost, for their commitment to the project.
And thank you to the many others, investors, researchers and activists among them, with whom we have had useful and interesting conversations along the way.
