​ICS23 is a multi-disciplinary conference focused on challenges of sustainability transitions in society, environmental change, and sustainable use of natural resources. ICS23 is organized around five working groups: bio society, climate, water, energy & minerals, and circular economy and sustainable society. ICS23 is jointly organized by a consortium of University of Eastern Finland Research Communities: RESOURCE, FOBI, WATER, CLEHE, and PHOTONICS.

The conference will be held on-site at the Kuopio campus of the University of Eastern Finland accompanied with a limited online participation.

ICS23 offers a platform for researchers from all fields of science to share research insights and discuss the complex global and local challenges on sustainability transitions, use of natural resources, environmental and climate change, and circular economy themes from a broad perspective, or those which are related to the conference theme.  

We welcome both poster presentations and oral presentations.  

You are all warmly invited to give presentations and discuss your ongoing research and projects with key scholars from different research disciplines. Please submit an abstract of 200–300 words by August 31, 2023.

Please find the Abstract submission form here. 

The conference will be organized as a hybrid event and there are no conference fees for conference participation or for the evening event. The on-site event will be held at the Kuopio campus of the University of Eastern Finland. The online event details will be shared at a later date.  

The detailed conference programme will be published later.
