[AISWorld] ECIS 2024 workshop Sustainable Futures

[OLOGEANU-TADDEI Roxana]

Dear IS community,

We invite you to the ECIS 2024 workshop titled "Sustainable Futures: Advancing the Green Frontier as IS Researchers." The workshop will take place on June 16th, 2024, from 13:30 to 17:30.
Workshop Description:
We advocate for heightened awareness about environmental sustainability among IS researchers, suggesting that our community should proactively develop practical solutions. In this workshop, participants are encouraged to consider these broader implications, not just in the theoretical realm but also in practical terms, reflecting on our community's own carbon footprint and its commitment to sustainability.
The interactive workshop involves a local industry partner focused on environmental sustainability in Cyprus and a keynote by Markus P. Zimmer on responsible and digital co-transformation and the values surrounding organizational goals.
After the keynote, we embark on a design thinking workshop, which engages participants in groups, where they tackle the real-life case presented by the local company. This hands-on approach encourages creative problem-solving and the development of innovative IS solutions to address sustainability challenges in Cyprus. The workshop further evolves into round table discussions, fostering the development of solutions and encouraging collaboration among participants.
Throughout these activities, we explore theoretical aspects but also emphasize practical engagement. The dynamic exchange serves as a platform for actively involving researchers in the pursuit of sustainable IS solutions. The concluding segment of the workshop, with the presentation of solutions, offers a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and discussions on the evolving role of IS in contributing to environmental sustainability based on the case. We hope the workshop will set the stage for post-event activities.

We look forward to welcoming you and engaging in a wonderful discussion.
