About LIMITS

The LIMITS workshop concerns the role of computing in human societies within a world of limits, whether they are ecological and material limits to our biosphere’s ability to regenerate or epistemic limits to our knowledges and knowledge systems, such as those imposed by extractive logics and technological solutionism on societal challenges. As an interdisciplinary group of researchers, practitioners, and scholars, we seek to reorient the computing research agenda, grounded in an awareness that contemporary computing research is entangled with environmental limits in general, and climate- and climate justice-related limits in particular. LIMITS 2025 solicits submissions that move us closer towards computing that supports diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres.

LIMITS is a place for a wide range of perspectives and approaches.
