The 2026 International Conference on Recent Advances in Information Systems (ICRAIS) aims to encourage innovation and collaboration in the field of information systems. In this second edition, ICRAIS 2026 places Information Systems at the core of its mission, highlighting their transformative role in addressing today’s complex global challenges. A central focus of the conference is how Information Systems research and innovation contribute to sustainability in its broadest sense — encompassing environmental responsibility, social equity, economic resilience, and ethical governance. We particularly welcome contributions that explore how Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, digital infrastructures, and education technologies within Information Systems can drive sustainable development and responsible digital transformation. By advancing sustainable Information Systems, ICRAIS aims to foster solutions that create long-term value for society, industry, and the planet.
