[Air-L] Fw: [ICT4S] First call for contributions: LIMITS 2026

[Robert Rattle]

Forwarding the LIMITS first call for contributions for the 2026 online workshop.                                           Since 2015, the yearly LIMITS workshop series concerns the role of computing in human societies situated in a world with planetary boundaries and corresponding limits [Nardi et al. 2018]. As an interdisciplinary group of researchers, practitioners, and scholars, this community seeks to reshape the computing research agenda, grounded by an awareness that contemporary computing research is intertwined with ecological limits. LIMITS publishes submissions that move us closer towards computing that supports ecological and just futures for diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres. 
LIMITS is a place for a wide range of perspectives and approaches. We welcome contributions from anyone including researchers, engineers, designers, and artists who are exploring computing in ways that engage with pressing ecological and social issues and crises. LIMITS strives to be a place for envisioning technologies and futures ‘otherwise’: a place for work that considers how visions and frameworks of pluriversal design, degrowth and post-growth affect computing and asks how computing can grapple with polycrises, metacrisis, collapse, colonialism and de-colonialization, equity, justice, and transition design. 
For 2026, we are calling for    
   - papers to be peer-reviewed, presented and published in the proceedings (as in previous years) and 
   - alternative contributions, stories and other formats(details to be announced)
