Subject: [LIMITS] Call for Applications: ICT4S Summer School 2020 - ICT for
Sustainability

Hello everyone,

As we all know, ICT *can* play a central role in the transition to
sustainable societies, but often makes things worse. Our  ICT4S summer
school explores systemic interactions between ICT, society, economy &
environment. It seems odd to announce a summer school in these times, but
we’re cautiously optimistic about the timeline – late August - and the
Lorentz Center hosting this summer school is working on covid contingency
plans if necessary.

Please spread the word!

Best wishes,

Christoph Becker
