ICSIS 2026

Call for Artifacts & Demonstrations

Showcase research prototypes, tools, datasets, and operational systems that advance sustainability, innovation, and positive societal impact.

Why showcase your artifact at ICSIS?

We are delighted to announce the International Conference on Sustainability, Innovation, and Society, a premier global forum bringing together scholars, industry leaders, practitioners, and policymakers to explore the intersection of sustainable development, technological innovation, and societal transformation.

  • High-impact visibility: Engage with world-class researchers across sustainability, innovation, and society domains.
  • Actionable feedback: Get interdisciplinary reviews on impact, scalability, ethics, and real-world applicability.
  • Bridge research & practice: Share datasets, tools, and solutions for reproducibility and sustainable adoption.
  • Grow collaborations: Meet potential co-authors, mentors, and partners across academia and industry.

What makes a strong artifact/demo?

  • Clear problem framing & rigorous methodology
  • Interdisciplinary insight: sustainability impact, innovation potential, societal value
  • Ethical considerations, environmental impact, and social responsibility
  • Compelling visuals: case studies, impact metrics, live/recorded demos, QR codes
We welcome early/late-breaking results, negative results with analysis, datasets, tools, and deployed sustainable systems.
