Call for Workshop Proposals

Submission deadline: March 7
Submit via email to: iccc25-workshops@computationalcreativity.net

The 16th International Conference on Computational Creativity is soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in association with the main ICCC conference. We welcome proposals for half-day or full-day workshops, focusing on any aspect of computational creativity research whose focus area complements the topics discussed in the main conference.

Workshops offer a great opportunity to exchange ideas, and a chance to drive broader adoption of your systems and methods. We welcome a diversity of formats, from academic workshops to traditional tutorials, as well as hands-on and practical workshops to allow brainstorming. Please feel free to contact the organizers to discuss the possibilities further.

Topics can range from anything between theoretical or computational aspects of computational creativity, social and ethical implications, and/or focused artistic showcases. In the past, workshops at ICCC have covered a wide variety of focused areas and this is part of the strength of a workshop series. We will prioritise workshops that have a clear focus area, rather than a more general application area. This is to create a workshop program that is complementary to the conference.

Please note that all workshops will be academically self-contained: they should have their own organising committee and, if necessary, conduct their own peer review with appropriate timelines (assuming these are part of the format for the proposed workshop). The process should be entirely managed by the workshop organisers.

Important dates

  • Workshop proposal submissions due: March 7, 2025
  • Notification of workshop acceptance: March 14, 2025
  • Workshop days: colocated with ICCC’25, June 23-27, 2025 (precise days of the workshops to be defined)

In case of excellent early bird submissions, earlier acceptance may be possible at the chairs’ discretion, to allow workshops a longer lead time.

We encourage the workshop organizers to communicate the notification of acceptance to their participants before the 7th of May. Please note that the papers or abstracts accepted to the workshops will not be included in the official ICCC’25 proceedings, yet the workshop organizers are free to seek publication alternatives with the assistance of the workshops chair and ICCC organisers.

Each workshop should have a page within the ICCC’25 website. The organisers of each workshop are responsible for content of this page and should provide it to the Workshop Chair for it to be uploaded. Additionally, if a workshop requires a more complex online setup, a complementary website can be hosted in the ACC server. The web page must follow the visual identity of ICCC. The ICCC’25 webmasters will assist the workshop organizers to facilitate this process.

Submission Instructions

Please submit a PDF proposal of no more than 3 pages detailing the following:

  • Title and abstract of the workshop (the abstract should clearly address the topic of the workshop).
  • Organising committee’s names and affiliations
    • One organizer must be indicated as a primary contact person (please note that there should be at least one organizer committed to be physically present during the event. If this is not possible, we encourage the workshop organizers to get in touch with the organizing committee to understand whether different options are feasible).
    • Please include a brief CV of the organizers, focusing on your experience in tasks aligned with workshop organization.
  • Description of the event’s scope, and the type of papers and/or works that will be accepted (feel free to refer to previous instances of the workshop, including publications)

    • Expected audience’s background and interests
  • The expected format and duration (half-day or full-day) of the workshop

  • Any technical or space requirements (e.g., projector, PA, whiteboards, open space)
  • Preliminary timeline for the workshop (submission dates, notification dates)
  • Details of any invited speakers, if known at the time of submission.
  • Any other relevant information
