===========================================
Call for In-use Track Papers

The In-Use track seeks submissions describing applied research as well as software tools, systems, or architectures that benefit from the use of Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph technologies (including, but not limited to, technologies based on the Semantic Web standards). Importantly, submitted papers should provide convincing evidence of the use of the proposed application or tool by the target user group, preferably outside the group that conducted the development and, more broadly, outside the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph research communities.

===========================================
Call for Challenges Proposals

A great way to advance the state of the art in a given domain is to create competition. We invite you to propose an ISWC 2025 Challenge, in which you define an open competition on a problem of your choice within the Semantic Web domain.

Important Dates:
Challenge proposal submission due Feb 18th, 2025
Notification of challenge acceptance Mar 2nd, 2025

They provide a unique venue for exploring emerging ideas, discussing novel perspectives on established research, and engaging with related research communities. We encourage proposals for workshops that will inspire meaningful dialogue and collaboration among ISWC attendees, providing a platform to advance research and innovation in this dynamic field.

Important dates:
Submission deadline - February 18, 2025
Notification to proposers - March 11, 2025

===========================================
Call for Dagstuhl Style Workshops

Inspired by the Special Session at ISWC 2024 and the Dagstuhl Seminar model, these workshops are designed to encourage in-depth discussions on challenges or emerging topics within a half-day or full-day event format. The goal is to create a collaborative and open environment for brainstorming and exploring new directions, similar to the spirit of Dagstuhl Seminars. These workshops will prioritize dynamic discussions and the presentation of fresh ideas and ongoing research, rather than requiring participants to submit papers or give formal presentations.

Important dates:
Submission deadline - July 1, 2025
Notification to proposers - July 11, 2025
Workshop website online - July 25, 2025
Workshop days - November 2-3, 2025

Call for Doctoral Consortium Submissions

The DC event is intended for students who have articulated a reasonably detailed research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results, but are not yet on the final stretch of their thesis, such that the feedback gathered at the DC will have a maximal impact. The aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and to suggest possible ways to improve their research plan and to achieve results with prospective greater impact.

Submissions Due - 3 June 2025
