<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" style="font-size: 13px;">+++Background+++</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" style="font-size: 13px;">Social sustainability is often deemed to create the basic framework for society, including cohesion of community for mutual benefit, connectedness between groups of people, standards
of ethics, rules, laws, and information. It lowers the cost of working together and facilitates cooperation, e.g., trust lowers transaction costs.</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" style="font-size: 13px;">Software too has now become one of the cornerstones of societal infrastructure. Yet, the question on how software engineering impacts social sustainability still remains largely unaddressed.
This workshop aims to mobilise an inter-disciplinary community focusing on how software engineering principles and practices must change to ensure maximised positive contribution of an engineered system towards the social sustainability of the societies affected
by it.</font></div>

</div>
</span>
<div><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Courier;">* To bring together an inter-disciplinary community, including, for example, software engineers, sociologists, anthropologists, ethics researchers, legal scholars, environment scientists and others,
in order to mobilise a community focusing on how software engineering can contribute to better social sustainability.</span></div>
