Let’s make energy efficient software and digital sustainability part of our community! We can live up to our responsibility for this and future generations!
Funding
The BE4FOSS Project was funded by the Federal Environment Agency and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV). The funds are made available by resolution of the German Bundestag.
