We invite researchers and practitioners aiming at actively contributing to Sustainable Development and engaging with discussions on the state-of-the-art of human-centred technology for sustainability to join us at the INTERACT 2021 Workshop Human-centred Technology for Sustainable Development Goals: Challenges and Opportunities - HCT4SDG. The workshop is supported by the IFIP Working Group 13.10 on Human-Centred Technology for Sustainability.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations (UN) Members calls for global partnerships to achieve significant advances on fairness and prosperity on the planet. It includes equal access to, and management of resources such as water, energy, climate, oceans, urbanization, transport, science and technology. These themes are addressed as a set of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With this broad perspective of “sustainability” in mind, the objective of this workshop is to build an agenda which aims to define challenges and opportunities for design of interactive technologies that address one or more SDGs with a holistic view.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Participants will be invited to generate and share ideas, to collectively build a map of challenges and opportunities that will lead to joint publication.
As travelling may not be possible to everyone, online participation is welcome.
Prepare a motivation paper describing your approach to design technology aimed at advancing the society towards one or more Sustainable Development Goals, by addressing related challenges and/or opportunities.
Please prepare your submissions in the Springer LNCS format - maximum 6 pages, using the templates provided for CS Proceedings and other Multi-author Volumes.
Accepted papers will be published in the official adjunct conference proceedings. Authors of relevant papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their workshop paper to a special issue of Sustainability on "Targeting Environmental Challenges Using Interactive Visual Technology".
Please submit your workshop paper through Easychair.
