Introduction
Join the interdisciplinary symposium Towards Sustainable Digital Futures, taking place on 14–15 May 2025 at The Edge, University of Sheffield. In an era where digitalisation and sustainability are two defining but often disconnected global trends, this event aims to bring them into critical dialogue. Highlighting the urgent need to address environmental impacts such as rising electricity consumption and e-waste, the symposium explores how digital technologies can contribute to sustainable solutions.
About the event
Keynote speaker Dr Sebastián Lehuedé (King’s College London) will open discussions on the politics of AI environmentalism. Across a series of panels and workshops, researchers will share cutting-edge work on themes including degrowth, e-waste, digital pedagogy, activism, and regulatory frameworks.
The symposium welcomes researchers, practitioners, and students interested in shaping more equitable and sustainable digital futures. Don’t miss this opportunity to take part in vital conversations and collective strategies for a digital world that works within planetary limits.
