Current Newsletter
Click here to access the August 2026 newsletter. From that issue:
Dear Readers,
Where did July go? This question refers to more than just the pace at which summer is flying by. As the astute observer might notice, this is already the August issue of SSIT Insights! We promise we’re not trying to rush your summer along—instead, we’ve made this small timeline shift to give the newsletter a more forward-looking feel and to build greater awareness of (and excitement for) upcoming events. The deadline for submissions remains the same, though, and we continue to invite articles, announcements, and event recaps from all our members.
There’s certainly plenty to be excited about in this issue, which is bursting at the seams with:
- A preview of our inaugural IEEE Ethics Week, taking place 12–20 September
- A newly listed SSIT-endorsed conference, ALife 2026, taking place 17–21 August in Waterloo, Canada, and online
- Two SSIT in Action pieces by Guillermo Catuogno (SSIT Chair, Argentina Section – Region 9) and Haris Hamidovic
- An upcoming SusTech Talk on 28 July with Dr. Ahmed Mousa, “Preparing for 100% Clean and Renewable Energy Systems”
- A message from the Editors of IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society announcing a major indexing milestone
- Recaps of an SSIT Sustainability Webinar celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Diffie-Hellman algorithm; the Forum on Philosophy, Engineering, and Technology (fPET); and an IEEE SSIT Formation Week 2026 outreach activity on “Responsible AI & CyberSafe Future”
- A call for nominations for Members-at-Large
- And more!
As always, we welcome your submissions for future newsletter content, which can be submitted via Google webform or email to lodoens@erau.edu. The deadline for inclusion in the September issue is 7 August. Material received after this deadline may be carried over to a subsequent issue.
Sincerely,
Shannon Lodoen and Aleksander Franiczek
