=Scope & Goals=
Tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2023 allow your organisation or project to
advance and promote your topics and gain increased visibility. The
tutorials will be announced on the SEMANTiCS website and they will be
seen by all participants. SEMANTiCS 2023 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 tutorials may be either half or full day long. 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.
