About CSST

Improving human lives involves understanding sociotechnical systems. Research on human activity such as collaboration, creativity, learning and economic production in domains like healthcare, education, science, leisure, and computing requires researchers to understand both social and technical aspects of human organization. That’s what we do.

The Consortium for the Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST) brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines to develop a common language and scholarly repertoire as we work to understand diverse sociotechnical issues.

We are grateful for the support of the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering.
