Workshops

ECCE 2025 welcomes proposals for workshops as spaces for debate and co-development of ideas and approaches related to the advancement of research and practice within the fields of cognitive ergonomics and human-media interaction.

Workshops are based on participants’ active engagement and contribution. Participants prepare in advance to share perspectives, knowledge, and interest in the workshop theme. The outcomes of workshops include heightened sensitivity to new issues, joint publications and research programs and critical yet friendly feedback on emerging ideas. Often, they establish or solidify research networks and contribute to community building.

Successful workshop proposals for ECCE 2025 should fully use the workshop format, avoid conference-style paper presentations, and instead prioritise debate and joint action. 

Novel formats for submissions and activities are encouraged. Proposals that reach out to other disciplines and traditions, as well as to industry, art, activism, and other practices to advance constructive and critical discussions, were welcomed. Successful proposals clearly explain the aim and relevance of the workshop, intended audience, planned activities, expected outcomes and impact on the intended community.

This said we invite proposals for workshops focusing on all themes related to the fields of cognitive ergonomics or human-media interaction. In particular, we invite workshops focusing on the conference’s theme: Critical reflection for a better tomorrow.

Workshops should aim to attract 10-15 participants and run for around a full day, with scheduled morning, lunch and afternoon breaks. Workshops will run in parallel with the doctoral consortium on 7 October 2025.

Deadline for all submissions

EasyChair (opening 24 February 2025)

A workshop proposal should be 3 to 4 pages in single-column format, including references. It should be self-contained and clearly provide a detailed workshop description, including:

• Title of the workshop
• Names and affiliations of the facilitators
• An abstract describing the aims, objectives, benefits and significance of the proposed workshop
• A scheduled overview of planned activities
• A draft of the call for workshop participation
• The promotional strategy detailing how the organisers plan to recruit and select participants
• Facilitator(s) background, provided as short biographical notes

• ACM Proceedings Format
• LaTeX template
• Overleaf template
• Microsoft Word template + fonts

The selection process is curated. Workshop selection will happen at the discretion of the Workshop Chairs. Acceptance of proposals will be informed by factors such as:

• Clarity of intended outcomes
• Value for the participants
• Level of expected interest
• Impact and relevance to ECCE’s broad audience
• Profile of the proponents

We can generally provide a projector, screen and speakers. Budget constraints make it unlikely that additional equipment can be provided. Additional technical requirements must be discussed with the chairs, and the authors can request assistance with setup.

Although accepted workshops will be announced through the ECCE 2025 website, workshop organisers must set and circulate a call for workshop participation through appropriate channels and establish a website for the workshop no later than May 26th.

Please note that the period between the notification of acceptance and the required public announcement is short, so plan accordingly.

Workshop participants are selected by the workshop organisers based on criteria set by the organisers. Typically, potential participants submit a position paper stating their contribution, interest and expertise related to the workshop. NordiCHI 2020 encourages workshop organisers to experiment with submission formats.

The possible publication of workshop participants’ contributions is the sole decision and responsibility of the workshop organisers.

Workshops are run with at least 5 participants registered by the early bird registration deadline, so proponents should actively promote the workshop to relevant audiences. 

Extended abstracts will appear in the Proceedings of ECCE 2025, published in the ACM Digital Library.
All organisers of accepted workshops must register for the conference.
