Coming soon
2026 UKSS Conference – 17th September, University of Portsmouth
The theme
Systems Thinking and Practice in the 21st century – addressing the challenges of the digital age.
The narrative
As technologies evolve, how can we ensure that the resulting socio-technical systems support not only the workplace but also wider society?
Contributions
We welcome practitioners, scholarly papers and case studies which provide examples of the interdisciplinarity of digital systems design and development in practice. We encourage the choice of topic showcases and demonstrate the use of ‘systems’ ideas in the area of concern. Examples include,
- Education systems
- Medical systems
- Legal systems
- Health systems
- Environment systems
- Business in an uncertain environment
- Systems research, e.g., the social impact of AI
- Design – Systems Methodologies and digital systems.
Members are encouraged to stay in contact with the conference chair (Gary Evans, conference@ukss.org.uk) and members of the management committee for updates.
