The swift advancement of digital technology has significantly reshaped numerous facets of society, exerting profound influence on modes of interaction, governance, learning, and professional engagement. Against this backdrop, this conference endeavors to delve into the intricate interplay between digitization and societal progress, embracing a diverse array of disciplines and perspectives. We cordially invite submissions of scholarly papers aligned with the thematic areas delineated below, while also extending an inclusive invitation for contributions spanning broader dimensions of scientific inquiry.
The ICSA program committee welcomes submissions on topics related to this main theme, as well as on other topics, both theoretical work and empirical analysis. Papers offering comparative perspectives and cross-disciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. Both complete papers and extended paper abstracts in English will be considered. Extended abstracts must contain sufficient details to suggest timely completion (normally, 5 pages or more).
Graduate students are invited to compete for the ICSA 2025 Nan Lin Graduate Student Paper Award. One paper (published or unpublished) will be selected and the award will be announced in the conference and presented with a plaque and a check of USD 500 (by mail). The selected paper must be presented in person at the conference in person. Five travel awards valued $500 will be offered to students based on their submission for the paper award.
