Education and Outreach
To focus on educational outreach for the youth through demystifying computer science and breaking stereotypes of computer scientists.
Equitable Computing and AI
To raise awareness of how AI could impact equality, to proactively facilitate conversation in this space, to research the challenges that currently exist or may develop; and to be thought-leaders on solutions and the standards that practitioners should uphold.
Fostering the Future of Computing
To support CS researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds in the early stages of their career.
Future of Publishing
To focus on creating an archive of computer science research for the future that supports reproducibility, open data, rigor in reviewing, and open access.
Future of Work
To understand and address the effects of technology on the workforce from the perspective of the computing community.
Interdisciplinary
