ICT4S 2020 Call for Workshops Proposal
We invite workshop proposals of traditional or unconventional formats for
half-day or full-day workshops. Workshops are to be held on Monday, June 22,
and Friday, June 26, 2020.
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. Given the urgency of the climate crisis we invite proposals that
cover controversial viewpoints, national and global public policy
interventions, emerging technology drivers or transformative ideas aimed at
changing basic assumptions.
At ICT4S 2020 we are facilitating two kinds of workshop:
+ Formal Workshops - workshops looking to establish annual gatherings and
publish proceedings associated to topics covered by ICT4S. These workshops
will include a full peer review process for workshop submissions
(facilitated by the workshop organisers). Position papers submitted to the
workshop will be published in adjunct proceedings of the ICT4S proceedings.
+ Community Workshops - workshops for community building and passionate
discussion in emerging topics relating to ICT4S.
