ECIR 2017 Call for Workshop Proposals

 

We are happy to invite you to submit proposals for one-day or half-day
workshops to be held on the 9th of April 2017 at 39th European Conference on
Information Retrieval, ECIR.

 

ECIR workshops provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less
formal and possibly more focused way than the main conference. We therefore
expect that the workshops offer a common forum to engage and encourage
researchers, especially PhD students and early career researchers, to
present and discuss their work, and obtain valuable feedback in an
interactive, supportive and friendly environment. 

The format of each workshop is to be determined by the workshop organisers.
Workshops are encouraged to be as dynamic and interactive as possible and
should lead to a concrete outcome, such as the publication of a summary
paper and/or workshop proceedings. 

Researchers and practitioners from all areas of the information retrieval
community are invited to submit proposals for review. The organisers of
approved workshops are expected to define the focus of the workshop, gather
and review submissions, and decide upon its content. The organisers are also
responsible for selecting the channels for publishing the workshop
proceedings. 

 

Submission Guidelines

 

Proposals should be a maximum of 6 pages in length and contain the following
information: 

1.            Title and abstract of the workshop;

2.            Background, motivation, and relevance to ECIR;

3.            Workshop goals/objectives coupled with desired outcomes;

4.            Format/structure of the workshop (planned activities and a
tentative schedule of events);

5.            Intended audience, the selection process for participants,
whether it will be a full day or half day workshop, and what resources are
required;

6.            If the workshop is related to or follows on from another
workshop (if the workshop has been held previously at ECIR or another
conference, then the organisers should indicate this and describe briefly
past attendance and outcomes, and why another workshop is needed);

7.            Short biographies of the organisers;

8.            Any other relevant information to support your proposal (e.g.,
programme committee, list of invited speakers, overall vision/approach
etc.).

 

Submission Instructions

 

Workshop proposals must be written in English. Proposals should be submitted
in PDF format via email to the workshop chairs. 

Deadline for submission of workshop proposals is 9th September 2016.

Organisers of accepted workshops will be invited to submit a brief
description of the workshop for inclusion in the ECIR 2017 conference
proceedings.
