The European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) is a major venue for academic research and developments in the area of the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graphs. The 23rd edition will take place from May 10 to 14, 2026, in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The ESWC industry track is a forum for exchanging ideas, results, and lessons learned amongst Semantic Web researchers, technologists, and product leaders across industry and academia. The goal is to learn from the process of bringing cutting-edge Semantic Web research to state-of-the-art applications and to align current research efforts with existing real-world requirements that justify the adoption of novel approaches in the face of otherwise unfeasible challenges.
The industry track aims to identify the application domains of Semantic Web technologies that present the state of adoption of Semantic Web technologies in the industry, and facilitate a discussion about what current industry challenges can be addressed with Semantic Web technologies, the hurdles that may stand in the way of broader adoption, and any novel problems and use cases. Across all submissions, emphasis should be put on demonstrating the value and impact created by using knowledge graphs and Semantic Web technologies to address real-world industry problems. We explicitly welcome papers that report on "negative" results.
Important Dates Submission deadline March 25, 2026 Notification of acceptance April 10, 2026 Camera-ready final version April 24, 2026
All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth (UTC-12).
