ISIT

The Belgian Institute for Responsible Digital Technology is a think and do tank founded in 2020, based on its French equivalent: the INR. 

Its objective is to bring together Belgian companies, organisations and citizens, in order to help them succeed in their digital transition while reducing the environmental and social footprint of their IT services and uses. With the support of its members and public authorities, it promotes more responsible, ethical and inclusive digital technologies and services. A non-profit association, the Institute is a think tank dedicated to the 3 key issues of Responsible Digital Technology: 

- Reducing the environmental footprint of digital technology and its other negative impacts, both from a social and economic point of view; 

- The ability of digital technology to reduce humanity's environmental footprint and solve many societal and economic problems; 

- Sustainable value creation and responsible innovation via digital technology. 

Its objectives, with regard to Responsible Digital Technology, are as follows: 

- Promote exchanges and knowledge sharing; 

- Promote good practices; 

- To help social, institutional, economic actors and the general public to understand and appropriate the values of Responsible Digital Technology; 

 - Create the conditions for Responsible Digital to contribute to increasing the capacity of the economic fabric, institutions and society as a whole to innovate in a more sustainable way; 

- Identify and communicate practical experiences, tools and news to take concrete action; 

- Represent the Responsible Digital community and the values defended by the association to official institutions and bodies; 

- To enhance existing or future scientific, technological, logistical, methodological and social resources for these purposes; 

- To be an independent and objective player as well as to become a referent on this theme.
