ECSCW 2022: Call for Workshop and Masterclass Proposals

by Müller, Claudia, Prof. Dr.

Dear colleagues, The next ECSCW conference will take place at Coimbra, Portugal from June 27th to July 1st 2022. With our best wishes for peaceful and joyous holidays and a happy and healthy new year we would like to invite you for thinking about submitting exciting workshop and masterclass proposals. Buon Natale e felice anno nuovo! Kind regards, The workshop and masterclass co-chairs Claudia Mueller and Bryan Semaan The ECSCW 2022 conference is looking for workshop and masterclass submissions! Call for Workshop Proposals CSCW is a challenging and rapidly developing area of research where the exchange of ideas and discussion of concepts with other researchers provide an effective way of gaining new insights and identifying opportunities for possible collaborations. The ECSCW 2022 Workshops provide an opportunity to engage in discussions with other researchers, present and illustrate new developments on different themes within CSCW, provoke and reflect on novel perspectives and receive feedback on early ideas in a friendly and constructive manner. ECSCW 2022 invites workshop proposals addressing basic research questions, new methodologies and approaches, innovative technologies, and emerging research areas. Workshops are good venues for involving attendees in working together to share, reflect and develop new insights. Workshops may be half-day or full-day sessions. Outcomes might include journal special issues, blogs or new collaborations. We encourage accepted workshop organisers to create web-based resources for their workshops so that advertising, submission and organisation can be handled online. If you are submitting a workshop on accessibility or assistive technology, please refer to the SIGACCESS guidelines on writing about disability<https://www.sigaccess.org/welcome-to-sigaccess/resources/accessible-writing…>.

Masterclasses facilitate a more focused discussion on any CSCW topic, and enable organizers to do theoretical input in lectures as well as engage participants in more hands-on workshop experiences. While masterclasses are open to a broad range of participants, these are particularly targeted at early career researchers and PhD students. Masterclasses may be half-day or full-day sessions.
