Leveraging our community to spark collaboration
Powering progress through environmental efficiencies
Balancing flexibility and control with smarter, safer system design
Building legacy through leadership and elevating emerging voices and ideas
Registration is now open and we look forward to welcoming you to SR25.
Community Focus: Students + Early Career

Read on to find out more about each one of our extraordinary individuals – and we are excited to welcome them to London!
About the RSC
Since 1857, the Royal Society of Chemistry has been a home for ideas, innovation, and collaboration.
Located at Burlington House, alongside fellow learned societies and the Royal Academy of Arts—its historic Library and Information Centre (dating back to 1842) remains a living archive of scientific discovery.
We chose this venue because, like supercomputing itself, it sits at the intersection of tradition and imagination. The RSC’s collaborative environment encourages fresh thinking from diverse perspectives, making it the ideal setting for SR25. It’s warm, welcoming, and designed to be open and accessible—reflecting the aspirations of our own HPC communities.
Celebrating our 3rd Year
Sustainable Reality began in 2023 as a UK community event event focused on making HPC and AI more practical and approachable.
We’re here to spark conversations, share real experiences, and show how people and technology can work together to create lasting, sustainable solutions. Our goal is to cut through the jargon, keep things simple, and make sure everyone feels part of the journey.
