About SustainableICT

What

The SustainableICT, or SICT Doctoral School brings together academics, activists, artists and anyone interested to discuss sustainable practices in ICT. Our focus includes green computing, energy-efficient algorithms, sustainable data centers, and eco-friendly networking solutions.

  • Location: Université libre de Bruxelles
  • Address: Av. Franklin Roosevelt 50, 1050 Bruxelles, Belgium

When

  • Date: 26th - 30th January 2026
  • Time: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM daily

You

Despite being called a doctoral school, you do not need to be in higher education to come and join us. We want to bring together all people including activists, artists, educators, industry professionals and anyone interested who’s willing to add to the discussion of sustainable ICT.

Who

The organizing team of SustainableICT 2026 is composed of motivated and passionate Ph.D. students, postdoctoral researchers, professors, and people outside academia.

We would like to extend a big thank you to our sponsors, collaborators and affiliated organisations and institutions - without whom SustainableICT would not be possible.
