S3C 2023 : Sustainable, Secure, and Smart Collaboration workshop

The workshop is meant to connect researchers, industries, educators and technologists involved in different and diverse areas connected to Human-computer Interaction (HCI) blended to immersive systems, smart cities, and security awareness which can take advantage of the collaboration.

# Scope

We live in a world where no individual is independent of those around them. Hence, interconnection, interdependence and collaboration are shaping the framework of modern society as they stimulate the transition to a more sustainable society. It is how we collaborate today that will strengthen our relationships in the future. By promoting a collaborative environment, you are driving and enabling sustainable practices allowing merging different perspectives to help guide decisions, increasing trust, promoting an innovative culture and driving innovation.


Collaboration is generally based on interactions between people. However, technology is rapidly shaping our lives, requiring aus to redefine collaborative environments, letting geographically distant people to easily communicate and work together, experiencing immersive virtual reality which emulates real social interactions, and designing interactive and smart environments. Hence, this workshop focuses on sustainable and smart collaboration, which might also take place in virtual, remote and online settings.

While it represents a step forward in breaking down geographical and social barriers, virtual environments should carefully deal with security aspects, above all when young and inexperienced users are involved. Hence, besides focusing on sustainable and smart collaboration, we should not forgive the security concerns.
