Dear all,
We are organising a workshop with the title "The True Cost of ICT: From Materiality to Techno-Solutionism" (TCICT, more info: https://ict4s24-tcict.github.io) at ICT4S, 2024-06-24 in Stockholm, Sweden. The workshop aims to be an interactive forum where we work towards joint position statements, research outlines, or paper drafts. This collaborative work will be fuelled by short presentations of the participants and a few invited speakers but the focus will be on discussion and collaborative work. For this we are looking for your contributions:
In the TCICT workshop, we will investigate the true multidimensional costs of the ICT industry. We ask workshop participants to submit short position statements on topics broadly connects the list below:
- Multi-pronged approach in understanding the global impact of semiconductor industry
- Increased material and carbon impact of advanced semiconductor technology nodes
- Interdisciplinary dialogue on techno- solutionism and its harm, particularly to Global South
- How techno-solutionism and the growth of the semiconductor industry feed into each other
- Digital and non-digital approaches and critical perspectives towards addressing techno- solutionism
- The amplification of techno-solutionist ideas through (European) industrial policy, regulation, and research and innovation funding.
Position statements must be written in English and should not exceed
one A4 page in length (excluding references). Please submit your
statement in PDF format by 2024-05-24 23:59 AoE at
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=tcict24
If you submit a position statement, we will most likely invite you to present your perspectives in a short presentation (about 15 minutes) during the workshop. Submitting a position statement is not mandatory for attending the workshop. However, even if you do not intend to submit a full position statement, please consider submitting a few lines about yourself, why you are attending, and what you would like to discuss. You can do this in the "abstract" field under the EasyChair link above.
Best,
Adrian, JT and Srinjoy.

Dear all,
Just a friendly reminder that our workshop on 'the True Cost of ICT' at ICT4S in lovely Stockholm is only ~1 month away. We're still welcoming short position and personal statements (see instructions below).
Hope to be able to welcome some of you there!
All the best,
Adrian.
P.S. FWIW, looks like the track works in Sweden have moved dates, so there are now high speed and overnight trains again e.g. from Hamburg!
