Computing Within Limits Milan

Now in its 12th year, the LIMITS conference series 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. LIMITS strives to be a place for envisioning technologies and futures "otherwise:" a place for work that considers how visions and frameworks of pluriversal design, degrowth and post-growth affect computing. It asks how we can move closer to computing that supports ecological and just futures for diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres.
