ICSIS 2026

Call For Papers

The 2nd International Conference on Sustainability, Innovation, and Society (ICSIS 2026) invites scholars, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry leaders to share original research, case studies, and forward-looking perspectives that tackle the most pressing challenges and opportunities of our era. The conference provides a unique arena for cross-disciplinary dialogue and the co-creation of solutions that transcend traditional academic and sectoral boundaries.

ICSIS 2026 strengthens its role as a collaborative hub where expertise from computer science, engineering, life sciences, health, social sciences, education, economics and management, design, and public policy converges. By bringing together voices from academia, industry, and governance, the conference aims to transform knowledge into actionable insights, impactful innovations, and sustainable practices that can guide societies toward more resilient futures.

ICSIS 2026 is structured around three core tracks, each representing a pillar of our shared future:

  1. Sustainability: Exploring strategies for environmental stewardship, resource efficiency, and climate resilience.
  2. Innovation: Showcasing cutting-edge technologies, business models, and entrepreneurial ventures that drive progress.
  3. Society: Examining social dynamics, governance frameworks, and cultural shifts that shape our collective well-being.
