Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to invite submissions to the NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Embodied World Models for Decision Making, to be held 6 or 7 December 2025 in San Diego (whole-day event). Our focus are world models that imagine and predict how the world unfolds, so agents can plan, decide, and act.

Topics we cover:
• Model-based RL and long-horizon planning
• Sim-to-real alignment for robot learning
• Interactive video simulation and controllable scene generation
• Video-Language-Action models and LLM-guided agents
• Applications in open-world games, autonomous driving, robotics and more
