The International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE's Society on the Social
Implications of Technology- the oldest society and conference of its kind.
ISTAS is a multi/inter/trans-disciplinary forum for engineers, policy makers, entrepreneurs, philosophers, researchers, social scientists,
technologists, and polymaths to collaborate, exchange experiences, and discuss the social implications of technology.
ISTAS'20 Theme: Public Interest Technology
Public interest technologies (PIT) serve to address social needs and challenges in society. Public interest technologies pertain to
technologies that may aid not-for-profits and non-government organizations to achieve their goals. These technologies might leverage
open source software for collaboration, and open data initiatives to overcome societal challenges, may exercise crowdsourcing and
crowdsensing techniques toward collective awareness, and provide open workforce exchanges where Information and Communication
Technologies and engineering volunteerism is encouraged towards satisfying the needs of under-resourced organizations and citizenry.
IEEE SSIT will be joining the New America Foundation's Public Interest Technology Universities Network on Nov 13. Details TBA.
