REC²: Responsible Electronics in the Climate Change Era

Electronics offer numerous advantages for our lives, but at the cost of enormous resource and energy consumption and the generation of electronic waste. The REC² cluster creates the scientific basis for the electronics of the future: new material platforms, component concepts and integrated systems with which responsible electronics can be realized in an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable way.

We at RUB focus on the design of sustainable systems for the future across three key areas:

• Non-volatile memory
• Reconfigurable architectures
• Approximate computing
