[Infovis] CHIIR 2020 Call for Workshop Proposals

[CHIIR 2020 Program Co-Chairs]

CHIIR 2020, 14–18 March, 2020 • Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

CHIIR 2020 is pleased to invite proposals for satellite workshops to be
held in conjunction with the main conference.

http://sigir.org/chiir2020/call-workshop-proposals.html

CHIIR 2020 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and
emerging areas in Interactive IR, Information Seeking or Interfaces for
Information Access in a less formal and potentially more focused way than
the conference itself. Workshop topics typically match those identified in
the CHIIR 2020 general call for contributions, but proposals related to
other areas of Interactive IR are welcome as well. The format of each
workshop is to be determined by the organisers and can be either full-day
or half-day. We encourage workshops that foster collaboration, discussion,
group problem-solving and community building initiatives. Workshops that
only revolve around the presentation of papers in a “mini conference”
format are discouraged.

Researchers and practitioners from IR, Information Science or any related
discipline are invited to submit proposals for review. The organisers of
approved workshops will be expected to define the workshop’s focus, gather
and review submissions, and decide upon the final program content. At least
two organizers are expected to attend the entire workshop.
