International ICT4S Conference University College Dublin June 9 -13 2025

The international ICT4S conference brings together leading researchers in ICT for Sustainability with government and industry representatives with an interest in using, analysing, designing and deploying ICT for environmental and social sustainability. The conference has created discussion and movement towards a fundamental change in ICT systems among researchers, focusing on ICT effects on sustainability and development of sustainable ICT systems or applications.

ICT4S 2025 also aims to highlight the global aspects of sustainability; the challenges, issues and solutions, in an innovative way by the introduction of conference satellite Hubs located in Europe, India, U.S and China. These are affiliated centres around the world, where attendees can conduct their own presentations and workshops live to the main conference at UCD.
