Call for Workshops

Workshop submissions: Updated Deadline 21 March 2025
Workshop Acceptance notification: 3 April 2025

At ICT4S 2025 we are facilitating three kinds of workshop:
  1. Formal Workshops - workshops looking to establish annual gatherings and publish proceedings associated with topics covered by ICT4S. We expect to publish a proceedings volume including all accepted peer-reviewed workshop papers in an open access archive (e.g., arXiv’s Computing Research Repository, CEUR). These workshops are expected to include a full peer review process for workshop submissions (facilitated by the workshop organizers).
  2. Community Workshops - workshops for community building and passionate discussion in emerging topics relating to ICT4S. These workshops may also draw in a wider audience and we welcome proposals from community, business and local government that might help start a dialogue to develop solutions. [Big idea discussion]
  3. Drafting and co-design Workshops - workshops where attendees convene to develop a vision paper or a special-issue journal topic where they complete a draft within the workshop. Possible workshop activities could include research planning, timeline development, experiments preparations, and journal associate editor’s identification among others. [Co-design workshops]

We invite workshop proposals of traditional or unconventional formats that support preparing for half-day or full-day workshops.

Submission Guidelines

Formal Workshops

Formal workshop proposals should be between 4-6 pages long and include:

  • Title
  • Background - rationale for the workshop, including the aims and objectives
  • Organizers - short backgrounds/bios, including experience in organizing workshops or similar events
  • Type of workshop - full-day, half-day, or evening and expected number of participants
  • Pre-workshop plans - details on recruitment for the workshop, e.g., the target audience communities, strategy for communication with these communities.
  • Workshop Structure/Activities - the workshop structure in detail, including activities and resources required.
  • Post-workshop plans - plans for the creation of tangible outcomes or outputs, and follow-up with attendees/ICT4S
  • Program committee (PC) proposal - this should include the names, contact details, and affiliations of potential members of the PC.
  • Type of papers
  • Submission criteria for authors - criteria by which submissions to the workshop will be evaluated
