Scope

The ACM GoodIT conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions related to the application of information technologies (IT) to social good. The latter is defined as something that provides a benefit to the general public, such as clean air, clean water, internet access, education, or healthcare. However, new media innovations and the proliferation of online communities have added new meaning to the term. Social good can now reflect global citizens uniting to unlock the potential of individuals, technology, and collaboration towards a positive societal impact.
