IEEA 2024

Call for Papers

The topics (e.g. on the web page) have been formulated with the least restrictions in mind; practically, however, the selection process will focus on innovative approaches that show unusual, novel or just clever combinations of computational and environmental research. Social or socioethical topics are not excluded, but do not form a main focus point of the conference.
