Student VolunteersICT4S 2023

The international ICT4S conferences bring together leading researchers in ICT for Sustainability with government and industry representatives, including decision-makers with an interest in using ICT for sustainability, as well as artists and researchers focusing on ICT effects on sustainability and developers of sustainable ICT systems or applications. In order to smoothly run the conference and associated workshops and tutorials, we need student volunteers to help out on the practical aspect of the organization. All the events associated with ICT4S 2023 will take place from Monday June 5, 2023, to Friday June 9, 2023 in Rennes, France.

Student Volunteers play a key role in the success of ICT4S by helping the conference from registration to local matters. Being a student volunteer is an excellent opportunity to meet, interact, and network with other students, academics and practitioners from all over the world that share your interest in ICT for Sustainability! Such interactions often help shape the research direction for many students. The student volunteer opportunity is available to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students from all over the world who are enthusiastic and willing to contribute to make ICT4S 2023 a unique experience for all attendees.
