We are excited to announce that the second CSS Day will be launched on October 21, 2024. The theme for this CSS Day will be "Control Enabling a Carbon Neutral World. Endorsed by the CSS Executive Committee, CSS Day will be a day designated to celebrate CSS's impact on technology, education, and society; a day dedicated to reaching out and engaging our community; a day designed to improve the visibility of our technical field and expand CSS diversity. Our community will showcase CSS research themes, membership activities, and outreach and diversity progress with week-long activities.
