| Abstract Text | ICT is a transformational technology bearing both opportunities and risks for sustainable development. The "ICT for Sustainability" (ICT4S) conferences areabout utilizing the transformational power of ICT for making our world more sustainable: saving energy and material resources by creating more value from less physical input, increasing quality of life for ever more people without compromising future generations´ ability to meet their needs. While the potential of ICTs´ contribution to sustainable development has been increasingly recognized during the last decades, implementing this potential has proven to be a challenge. One of the main obstacles is the cooperation between the academic disciplines, such as engineering sciences and social sciences, but also between academia, industry, and politics. From its beginning, the conference therefore had a strong focus on exchanging ideas and mediating between different intellectual cultures. |
