Atelier WISE
1st International Workshop on Information Systems: Social and Environmental Sustainability
----------------------------------
Call for contributions
Associated to
RCIS 2026, 20th Research Challenges in Information Science
https://www.rcis-conf.com/rcis2026/WISE.php
May 26th, Toulouse, France
WS DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIFS
The workshop is designed as an interactive forum combining research discussion and practical experience.
It brings together participants to present results, share empirical and design experiences, and discuss ongoing challenges related to social and environmental sustainability in Information Systems.
The format emphasizes exchange and collective reflection rather than formal paper sessions.
Interactive, demo-oriented sessions will complement discussions, enabling participants to illustrate methods, tools, and systems and to engage in focused, forum-style debates.
WS FORMAT
The workshop will be organized as a half-day event, with the possibility of extension if the number of accepted proposals requires additional time.
The format will remain flexible to accommodate presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions.
TYPE OF CONTRIBUTIONS
1- Presentation-oriented contributions: Submissions describing ongoing research, early-stage work, or preliminary results.
These contributions should emphasize research questions, approaches, and initial findings, and are intended to stimulate discussion and feedback.
2- Demonstrations of tools and prototypes: Contributions presenting software tools, systems, or prototypes.
Demonstrations should focus on functionality, design choices, and sustainability-related aspects, and may include live or recorded demos.
3 - Practice-based tutorials: Contributions proposing hands-on or experience-driven tutorials.
These may address methods, frameworks, or practical approaches for designing, evaluating, or improving the social and environmental sustainability of Information Systems.
PAPERS
The papers of maximum 5 pages length should be submitted through EasyChair.
Workshop Submission Site EasyChair (selecting the WISE Workshop track).

Accepted contributions will be published in the workshop proceedings in the CEUR-WS series.
TOPICS
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Requirements elicitation, modeling, and validation for information systems supporting social and environmental sustainability.
- Quality and non-functional requirements (e.g., transparency, resilience, energy efficiency, inclusiveness) for sustainable information systems.
- Human-centered interaction design and user experience for sustainability-focused information systems.
- Data governance, management, privacy, and trust in information systems addressing sustainability challenges.
- Ethical, legal, and societal implications of sustainability-driven information systems.
- Stakeholder participation and socio-technical alignment in the design of sustainable information systems.
- Evaluation methods and metrics for assessing environmental impacts of information systems.
- Domain-specific information systems (e.g., health, mobility, tourism) for sustainability.
- Experience-Inspired description of Environmental or Social Sustainability Case study in Information Systems.
Interdisciplinary contributions combining computer science and fields such as social sciences, environmental studies, or design research are particularly welcome.
