International Conference on Innovation in Rural Regions (ICIRR)

2026-09-13 – 2026-09-15 · Siegen, Germany · in-person

This interdisciplinary conference examines social and technical practices in rural regions, exploring how innovations are imagined, facilitated, contested, and materially shaped. Rather than treating rural areas as peripheral spaces, the conference reframes them as complex socio-technical systems where global challenges manifest in concentrated ways. The event brings together researchers and practitioners from fields including design science, HCI, CSCW, ICTD, and STS to analyze and shape rural innovation dynamics and challenge dominant narratives.
