Call for Workshop / Tutorials

Proposals are invited for one-day or half-day workshops and tutorials the first day of the conference, Sunday March 28th.

The purpose of ECIR workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and research areas in a less focused and interactive way. As such, workshops offer a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested and engaged community.

Tutorials inform the Information Retrieval community on recent advancements in core IR research, related research, or on novel application areas related to Information Retrieval.
