We invite you to seize this opportunity and encourage submissions to Track 15 Social and Ethical Implications of ICT Use by November 18, 2020.

This track aims to develop theoretical and practical insights into issues related to social and ethical implications of information and communication technology (ICT) use, with the goal to thrive towards a sustainable and digitally-enabled future. We welcome papers that address knowledge gaps in: (1) the socio-technical nature of the problem under investigation, (2) the societal and/or ethical aspects associated with the problem, and (3) technological solutions that mitigate the problem. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1.	Deviant/unintended use of ICTs: Cyberbullying, addiction, polarisation, vigilantism, mis/disinformation, illegitimate surveillance, etc.
2.	(Un)ethical uses of ICTs and the data they generate in elections, organisations, marketing, etc.
3.	Individual work-related issues of ICT uses: stress, burnout, addiction, etc.
4.	Societal issues of current and emerging ICTs on labour market (e.g., unemployment, deskilling, substitution, etc.)
5.	Responsible use of ICTs (e.g., ethical ICT governance, ethical guidelines for ICT application, societal concerns in ICT planning and governance, etc.)
6.	The role of ICT in social inclusion/exclusion and equality/inequality
7.	Prevention and intervention strategies
The track is open to all methodological approaches. We invite both full research and research-in-progress papers. Please submit your paper via: http://ecis2021.com/paper-submission.
