June 13 – 15, 2023
(pre-conference workshops June 12)
Now in our 30th year, ISSST is one of the longest-running research conferences on sustainability and the intersection of technology, policy, and behavior. We are a vibrant community of engineers, scientists, professionals, and educators, sharing cutting-edge research and forming interdisciplinary teams for future collaboration. Our mission is to think beyond the traditional and envision a future where science has no limits.
The ISSST 2023 Conference welcomes the submission of abstracts that apply methods to define, design, assess, support, or implement technologies, policies, and systems for sustainability.
We are grateful for our 2023 sponsors!
