Hi Folks,
We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We at the Core Organizing Team would like to see a program submission related to Wiktionary projects.
The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration on other Wikimedia projects such as Wiktionary are topics we like to see this year.
Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March.

and features a workshop and tutorial program addressing the diverse
practical interests of its audience. This program is intended to offer a
rich diversity of topics to conference attendees and local participants
seeking to pick up new skills and stay up-to-date regarding the latest
developments in the community. We encourage submissions of proposals on
all topics in the general areas of SEMANTiCS 2023 and proposals bridging

Submission via Easychair on https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sem23
=Scope & Goals=
Workshops and tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2023 allow your organisation or
project to advance and promote your topics and gain increased
visibility. The workshops and tutorials will be announced on the
SEMANTiCS website and they will be seen by all participants. SEMANTiCS
2023 workshops and tutorials can be incubators for industrial and
scientific communities that form and share a particular research and
development agenda. They provide a forum for presenting contributions
and findings to a diverse and knowledgeable community.
Furthermore, the event can be used as a dissemination activity in the
scope of large research projects or as a closed format for
research/commercial project consortia meetings.
=Setup and Requirements=
SEMANTiCS 2023 workshops and tutorials may be either half or full day
long. Workshops and tutorials take place on the days before and/or after
the main SEMANTiCS 2023 EU conference (20th, 21st, and/or 22nd of
September 2023). Details will be communicated on time.
Organizers of workshops and tutorials will be granted three free tickets
(only for the workshop & tutorial day) for organization purposes or
keynotes. Participants of workshops and tutorials will be charged a
marginal fee to cover the basic costs.
Workshop and tutorials proposals must include the following information:
* outline of the themes and goals of the event, including a title and a
brief abstract (less than 200 words) intended for the SEMANTiCS 2023 website
* a statement addressing why the event is important, why the event is
timely, how it is relevant to SEMANTiCS 2023 and the field of semantic
web. For the tutorials, why the presenters are qualified for a
high-quality introduction of the topic
* related workshops and conferences, i.e., specifying if this is a
continuation of a workshop series or is a new workshop to address an
emerging issue. Please provide information about past versions of this
workshop and other related workshops (including URLs and
submission/acceptance counts, if available).
* a statement addressing the quality assurance criterion that will be
used by the event organizers to select the papers for the workshops and
the presenters for the tutorials (e.g., peer review or review/evaluation
by event organizers). If a peer review process is chosen as a quality
assurance criterion for the workshops, the organizers will be
responsible for their own reviewing process. Workshop organizers will be
responsible also for their own publicity (e.g., website, timelines and
call for papers) and proceedings production.
* structure of the event and plans for generating and stimulating
discussion; how will the interaction be organized in case of a hybrid event
* desired minimum and maximum number of event participants, expected
number of participants, and (in case of previously held events) number
of registered attendees and web site for previous editions of the event
* a description of the intended audience and the expected learning outcomes
* desired prerequisite knowledge of the audience
* proposed duration of the event (i.e., half or full day), different
sessions if applicable (final time slot will be assigned in accordance
with the SEMANTiCS program)
* any equipment, room capacity, or other logistic constraints
* full contact information of all organizers of the event and main
contact person; a brief description of each organizer's background,
including relevant past experience in organizing events
