About the Conference

ICT4S is the premier international conference to bring together leading researchers in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for Sustainability, with representatives from government, industry and the wider society. This includes decision-makers and end-users with an interest in using ICT for sustainability, researchers focusing on ICT effects on sustainability, and developers of sustainable ICT systems or applications. ICT4S encompasses all types of research, developments and applications of ICT to support sustainability, and the topic is receiving significant attention across the world. However, there are still numerous problems to be addressed that require collaborative research across multiple disciplines.

The workshops at ICT4S 2020 look to facilitate the exchange of new ideas and directions in all areas related to sustainability and digital technology. A variety of formats are welcome and will be considered, ranging from traditional research paper presentations to interactive and participatory sessions.
