Call for Papers
The EnviroInfo 2026 is the 40th edition of the long-standing and established international and interdisciplinary conference series on leading environmental information and communication technologies. Combining and shaping national and international activities in the field of applied informatics and environmental informatics in making the world a better place for living, the EnviroInfo conference series aims at presenting and discussing the latest state-of-the-art development on ICT and environmental-related fields.
This year’s conference is held together with the Annual Meeting of the Polish Association of Environmental Economists at the University of Lodz, Poland, September 9th-11th, 2026. It explores the latest advancements in applied informatics, environmental informatics, environmental economy, and relevant sustainability practices with a special focus on the topic „Sustainable development and other paradigms and concepts in the context of contemporary civilization trends - global and local dimensions”. The conference’s goal is to promote collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity in addressing global challenges in the areas of green computing, sustainable software engineering, circular economy, and business intelligence.
Therefore, EnviroInfo 2026 welcomes papers that are related to topics like:
- Environmental Economy and Protection of Natural Resources
- Open Data and Green IT
- Digitalization and Sustainability
- Green Data Centers and AI
- Green Software Engineering, Green Coding
- Green Environmental Management Information Systems
However, due to the interdisciplinary character of environmental informatics and economics, there is a wide range of topics that were already central to previous conferences and will be still in the heart of the EnvioInfo 2026. Examples include:
- Earth Observation and Monitoring
- Environmental Modelling and Simulation
- Applications of Geographical Information Systems
- Environmental Information Systems
- Core and emerging technologies in Environmental Informatics
- Agent-based simulations in Environmental Informatics
- Environmental Informatics in Smart Environments: Smart Homes, Buildings, Cities, Communities, Smart Farming
- Citizen Science in Environmental Informatics
- Disaster risk modelling and assessment, disaster response
- Environmental sensors and environmental informatics
- Environmental informatics and the Atmospheric Environment
- Sustainable transportation and energy systems
- Managing and mitigating climate change and extreme events
- Sustainable resource management and circular economy
- Robotics and reinforcement learning in Environmental Informatics
- Applications in Artificial Intelligence
- Rebound effects of ICT
- Economizing Nature
- Societal aspects of Environmental Informatics
- Environmental Informatics for Developing Countries
Moreover, EnviroInfo 2026 welcomes papers in which ICT technologies and environmental economics play a crucial role in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of the Agenda 2030 and in supporting societal transformation processes. Therefore, all contributors are asked to explicitly assign their contribution to one or more of the Sustainability Goals of the UN.
Therefore, EnviroInfo 2026 will be organized in Main track and Special Tracks focusing on certain SDGs or on a special topic.
