C&T is brought to you by EUSSET, the European Society for Socially Embedded Systems, who also brings you ECSCW. The theme of C&T 2021 is “Wicked Problems in the Age of Tech<https://2021.comtech.community/2020/06/13/2021-theme/>,” inviting participants to examine the positive and negative implications of new trends in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) impacting communities, civil society and the common good. Papers and proposals were accepted from a variety of relevant perspectives including technology, philosophy, social sciences, policy, design, business, art, the humanities, and so on. We are very much looking forward to seeing you in June! Sincerely, Shelly Shelly D.
