IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society

The annual flagship event of the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT), the IEEE Int’l Symposium on Technology and Society (IEEE-ISTAS) provides a multi-disciplinary platform for practitioners and researchers, engineers and polymaths, policy makers and NGOs, technologists & social scientists, to collaborate, exchange experiences & good practices, and discuss social, cultural, economic and ethical implications of emerging technologies.

As this year’s event is hosted by IEEE Kerala Section (Trivandrum, India) in Region 10, IEEE ISTAS 2016 will build on the momentum created during last year’s Symposium by focusing on the potential impact and implications of disruptive technologies (including IoT, Cloud Computing and Green Technology) on Global Development. It will also showcase IEEE’s activities addressing Global Development challenges, including the work of IEEE’s Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technologies (SIGHT).
