The event will be held over three afternoons - June 23 - 25, 2026,
1630-2000 each day.
Computing Within Limits is a workshop that concerns the role of computing in human societies situated in a world of planetary boundaries and limits, such as limits of extractive logics, limits to a biosphere’s ability to recover, limits to our knowledge, or limits of technological solutions to societal issues. As an interdisciplinary group of researchers, practitioners, and scholars, we seek to reshape and orient the broader computing research agenda, grounded by an awareness that contemporary computing research is embedded in finite socio-ecological conditions and must reckon with with ecological limits in general, and climate- and climate justice-related limits in particular. LIMITS 2026 solicits submissions that move us closer towards computing that supports ecological and just futures for diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres. More information
The workshop is held June 23rd-25th, and is organized as a virtual, distributed event. In practice, this means that local gatherings, or "LIMITS-hubs", all around the world connect to the virtual event, enabling local community-building while avoiding the need for people to travel far to participate. SINTEF, together with UiO and the Norwegian Data Association, are organizing the first ever LIMITS-hub in Oslo, and we welcome anyone interested in these topics to join us!
The agenda of the workshop consists of presentation of accepted papers, interspersed with breakout session in each local hub, followed by plenary discussion. On 23rd June, after the official program is over, we’ll have a social event at Sognsvann with barbeque and optional overnight sleeping in the forest.
