IEEE GHTC 2023 is Sponsored by IEEE Region 6, IEEE Philadelphia Section, and IEEE SSIT, with Technical Co-Sponsorship by
IEEE-USA, IEEE CTS, IEEE EMBS, IEEE MTT-S, IEEE PELS, IEEE PES, IEEE Smart Village Initiative and IEEE SA.
The 2023 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (IEEE GHTC 2023) is a flagship international
conference sharing practical technology-enabled solutions supporting the achievement of the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) by addressing the needs of underserved communities
in resource-constrained environments around the world.
Stakeholders from the public, private, education, and research, societal, funding, and donor sectors are
invited to submit Poster/Extended Abstract Presentation proposals, Short Papers (early-stage results),
and Full Papers (mature results) that share Sustainable Development, ICT4D, and Humanitarian
Technology related insights, experiences, best practices, and lessons learned from a research, policy,
practitioner and/or community perspective. Papers should present an analysis of initial or final research
results or a case study. General project descriptions are not appropriate. Submissions will be assessed for
quality, relevance, consideration of ethical issues, methodological vigor, and potential or actual impact.
Submissions by community representatives, practitioners (governmental, for-profit, and nonprofit),
academics, private sector organizations, and policymakers describing intervention design and
implementation, field experiences and best practices, case studies, project monitoring and evaluation
results, and original research are of particular interest. Paper submissions should include results that have
not previously been published and have not been submitted to another conference or journal.
Please note that all submissions will undergo a Plagiarism Check before being assigned for blind peer
review by members of the Technical Program Committee (TPC), who are all experienced subject matter
experts.
IEEE GHTC 2023 Thematic areas include (but are not limited to):
* Good Health and Well Being (SDG3)
* Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG7)
* Communication/Connectivity in Support of Development
* Disaster Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery
* Technologies that promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls
(SDG5)
* Quality Education (SDG4)
* Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG6)
* Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG8)
* Agriculture and Food Security (SDG2)
* Technology Impacts on Societal Evolution
For complete details on topics and submission, see http://ieeeghtc.org
In addition to describing ethical and sustainability challenges and technological aspects, submissions are
encouraged to consider socio-cultural, socio-economic, environmental, and policy perspectives and
explain how Sustainable Development-related good practices such as skills capacity building, community
ownership, Co-design, Collaborative Open Innovation, and Theory of Change are applied.
Three types of submissions are invited for presentation at GHTC:
Full Papers: mature results or completed projects and should not exceed eight pages.
Short Papers: interim results, experiences, and perspectives should be three to four pages in length,
including a short reference section.
Oral-only (Poster/Extended Abstract): work-in-progress; projects at an early stage of implementation;
option for community representatives, practitioners, or policymakers who prefer not to write a paper.
Submissions should be described in one or two pages.
NOTE: we are also accepting proposals for multi-stakeholder Special Sessions (up to 8 pages)
Accepted Full Papers, Short Papers, and Poster/Extended Abstract Presentations will be grouped
thematically to facilitate focused discussion, community building, and networking based on common
interests.
