Greening Commons Accelerators.. Blockers.. Challenges & Lessons 17-Nov-09IGF R&E Networks Go Green Nezar Sami 23

Accelerators 17-Nov-09IGF R&E Networks Go Green Nezar Sami 24  Government organizations have to take a leadership position early, with other sectors following closely behind.  The increase cost of the power in all forms (oil, electricity, etc … ).  The increase demand for cost efficient technologies.  The top management commitment towards the green clean technology.  The openness and the world exposure the institution have that make it a ready environment the State of the art practices and technologies.  The need for differentiation and attracting the attention of the global research universities and institutes

Blockers 17-Nov-09IGF R&E Networks Go Green Nezar Sami 25  The lack of Standards for the academic green services and technologies  The misconception that being green is being more expensive  The lake of public awareness of the benefits of being clean green  The local market of suppliers in Egypt may not be ready for the demand of Green Technologies
