• the concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world’s poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and
• the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment’s ability to meet present and future needs.

The ICT sector is a major driver for growth and innovation in Europe. Around 5% of the total European GDP and 20% of productivity growth in the other sectors is related to the ICT sector. The share of ICT services is 80%, while 20% of the sector’s turnover is caused by ICT manufacturing.

ICT is a young, complex, growing and dynamic sector. From the perspective of sustainable development there is less attention paid to this industry then there is to other manufacturing industries such as automotive, energy, transport. Research has revealed, that there are major problems in the production of ICT hardware and the development of ICT software [2].

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability are terms which are used around the globe but nobody really knows what it is about and how we are affected by them. Climate change, biodiversity, natural resources and many other topics can be subsumed under these terms.

To explain the dimension it is necessary to understand that both vertically (human beings, corporations, governments) and horizontally (family, community, region, state, global society) it is clear that “something” has to be done.

Five INNOSOC students, supervised by two INNOSOC lecturers, will collaborate on finding the relationships (e.g., from the perspective of challenges, chances and risks) between ICT as such and all relevant actors impacting the sustainable development, by analysing their responsibility towards individuals as well as regional and global societies [3]. These activities will be conducted as a part of the ERASMUS+ blended mobility and will be finalized during the INNOSOC Zagreb 2016 workshop in late April 2016.
