Check out our updated Call for Participation for more information on the 24-hour online workshop between the 7th and 8th of September.

Over the last few years, as systems become more applied and usable, co-creativity has become a key focus for computational creativity researchers. This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers to discuss the future of co-creativity from a range of perspectives, organised around two main topics: (i) what are the open questions in co-creativity research? (ii) what common language is needed for co-creativity researchers from a range of backgrounds to work together and progress the field?

Participants may contribute to these topics through discussions of areas including (but not limited to): studies of creative practice; creative ideation and development as a collaborative and socially structured search process; user-experience research; explainable AI; the integration of existing algorithms into co-creative applications; conversational interfaces; evaluation of co-creative systems; and co-creativity in specific application areas.

The workshop will commence with a number of short introductory tutorials by the workshop organisers that includes: a survey of designs for co-creative systems; theories of co-creativity grounded in creativity research in design and other fields; social models of creativity applied to co-creativity. It will proceed with participant presentations for accepted abstracts (see call below). The workshop will conclude with an open collaborative forum to discuss the categorisation and classification of co-creative systems, open problems and terminology, and to develop a research roadmap.

Attendees will be able to access all accepted abstracts before attending the workshop to aid in an open atmosphere of discussion.

The workshop is arranged in connection with the 11th International Conference on Computational Creativity. We are working on alternative online solution to accommodate participants who are unable to participate in person due to travel restrictions or limitations from the pandemic. We follow the policy of the main conference.
