Digital sufficiency has been proposed as a way to address sustainability and computing. This workshop starts from the definition by Santarius et al. [1], which defines digital sufficiency as ”any strategy aimed at directly or indirectly decreasing the absolute level of resource and energy demand from the production or application of ICT” and encompasses the four dimensions Hardware, Software, User, and, Economic sufficiency.

In this workshop, we are interested in exploring how digital sufficiency, is currently understood in different domains and how it could be developed further. This could include exploring how to operationalize digital sufficiency in the development and implementation of ICT and computing education.

We welcome contributions related to:
• Entertainment and media infrastructure in the
home
• Digital infrastructures
• Smart cities, buildings, homes and offices
• Digital sufficiency in industry practice
• Other topics relating to sufficiency within and
around ICT

As well as different methodological approaches such
as, but not limited to
• Design fiction
• Prototypes or provotypes
• Policy analysis
• LCA
• Ethnographic studies

The main objective of the workshop is to collectively develop and outline ideas. Possible outcomes include a pitch for a special issue focusing on digital sufficiency, and sketches/pitches for future collaborations such as articles and projects.
