*SEMANTiCS Workshops and Tutorials*
SEMANTiCS 2025 is a major venue for research and industrial innovation 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 2025 and proposals bridging or introducing
new perspectives and/or challenges in these areas. Workshops and tutorials
may incorporate panel discussions, lightning talks, meetings, networking or
hands-on sessions, hackathons and other practical formats where applicable.
Rooms for business or project meetings are available upon request as well.
*Scope and Goals*
Workshops and tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2025 allow your organization 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 2025 workshops and
tutorials can be incubators for industrial and scientific communities that
form and share a particular research and development agenda, and they will
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.
*Proceedings*
Workshop papers will be published in the SEMANTiCS side event proceedings
through CEUR. Side events proceedings will include posters & demos and
contributions from workshops.
*Setup and Requirements*
SEMANTiCS 2025 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 2025 EU conference (03th of September 2025). Further details will
be communicated in due 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 only be charged a
reduced fee to cover the basic costs.
Workshop and tutorial 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 2025
website.
-
a statement addressing *why the event is important*, *why the event is
timely*, and how it is relevant to SEMANTiCS 2025 and the field of
Semantic Web. For the tutorials, why the presenters are qualified for a
high-quality introduction to the topic.
-
*related workshops and conferences*, i.e., specifying if this is a
continuation of a workshop series or a new workshop. Please provide
information about past versions (in any) and other related workshops
(including URLs and submission/acceptance counts, if available).
-
a statement addressing the *quality assurance criteria* 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.
-
expected *number of event participants* and (in case of previously held
events) number of registered attendees and website 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.
Proposals for workshop and tutorial proposals must be submitted via
