VIRTUAL – Hosted from Sunny Riverside, CA. — April 21-23, 2022
Sustainability: the pursuit of environmentally sound development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the future!
The 9th Annual IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech 2022) is designed to explore technical development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the future generations. The conference brings together scientists, engineers, technologists and scholars from disparate disciplines to conduct a dialogue on environmental issues and collaborate on ideas to develop and utilize innovative tools and intelligent systems to address them. Attendees will explore emerging relevant technologies, latest tools, and proactive solutions to take their sustainability programs to the next level.
 |
SusTech 2022 is a virtual and on-demand event and will feature technical papers & presentations, posters and workshops.
Conference content that meets IEEE quality review standards and format will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting & Indexing (A&I) databases. |
Papers are solicited for presentations from industry, government, and academia (including students) covering relevant research, technologies, methodologies, tools, case studies and public policy.
