<h2 id="semantics-workshops-and-tutorials"><strong>SEMANTiCS Workshops
and Tutorials</strong></h2>
<p>SEMANTiCS 2025 is a major venue for research and industrial
innovation and features a workshop and tutorial program addressing the
diverse practical interests of its audience. This program is intended to
offer a rich diversity of topics to conference attendees and local
participants seeking to pick up new skills and stay up-to-date regarding
the latest developments in the community. We encourage submissions of
proposals on all topics in the general areas of SEMANTiCS 2025 and
proposals bridging or introducing new perspectives and/or challenges in
these areas. Workshops and tutorials may incorporate panel discussions,
lightning talks, meetings, networking or hands-on sessions, hackathons
and other practical formats where applicable. Rooms for business or
project meetings are available upon request as well.</p>
<h2 id="scope-goals"><strong>Scope and Goals</strong></h2>
<p>Workshops and tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2025 allow your organization or
project to advance and promote your topics and gain increased
visibility. The workshops and tutorials will be announced on the
SEMANTiCS website, and they will be seen by all participants. SEMANTiCS
2025 workshops and tutorials can be incubators for industrial and
scientific communities that form and share a particular research and
development agenda, and they will provide a forum for presenting
contributions and findings to a diverse and knowledgeable community.
Furthermore, the event can be used as a dissemination activity in the
scope of large research projects or as a closed format for
research/commercial project consortia meetings.</p>
<h2 id="proceedings"><strong>Proceedings</strong></h2>
<p>Workshop papers will be published in the SEMANTiCS side event
proceedings through CEUR. Side events proceedings will include posters
& demos and contributions from workshops.</p>

2025 workshops and tutorials may be either half or full-day long.
Workshops and tutorials take place on the days before and/or after the
main SEMANTiCS 2025 EU conference (03th of September 2025). Further
details will be communicated in due time.</p>
<p>Organizers of workshops and tutorials will be granted three
free tickets (only for the workshop & tutorial day) for organization
purposes or keynotes. Participants of workshops and tutorials will only
be charged a reduced fee to cover the basic costs.</p>
<p>Workshop and tutorial proposals must include the following
information:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>outline of the <strong>themes and goals of the
event</strong>, including a title and a brief abstract (less than 200
words) intended for the SEMANTiCS 2025 website.</p></li>
<li><p>a statement addressing <strong>why the event is
important</strong>, <strong>why the event is timely</strong>, and how it
is relevant to SEMANTiCS 2025 and the field of Semantic Web. For the
tutorials, why the presenters are qualified for a high-quality
introduction to the topic.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>related workshops and conferences</strong>, i.e.,
specifying if this is a continuation of a workshop series or a new
workshop. Please provide information about past versions (in any) and
other related workshops (including URLs and submission/acceptance
counts, if available).</p></li>
<li><p>a statement addressing the <strong>quality assurance
criteria</strong> that will be used by the event organizers to select
the papers for the workshops and the presenters for the tutorials (e.g.,
peer review or review/evaluation by event organizers). If a peer review
process is chosen as a quality assurance criterion for the workshops,
the organizers will be responsible for their own reviewing process.
Workshop organizers will be responsible also for their own publicity
(e.g., website, timelines and call for papers) and proceedings
production.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>structure of the event</strong> and plans for
generating and stimulating discussion; how will the interaction be
organized in case of a hybrid event.</p></li>
<li><p>expected <strong>number of event participants</strong> and
(in case of previously held events) number of registered attendees and
website for previous editions of the event</p></li>
<li><p>a description of the intended <strong>audience</strong> and
the expected learning <strong>outcomes.</strong></p></li>
<li><p>desired <strong>prerequisite</strong> knowledge of the
audience.</p></li>
<li><p>proposed <strong>duration of the event</strong> (i.e., half
or full day), different sessions if applicable (final time slot will be
assigned in accordance with the SEMANTiCS program).</p></li>
<li><p>any <strong>equipment</strong>, room capacity, or other
logistic constraints.</p></li>
<li><p>full <strong>contact information</strong> of all organizers
of the event and main contact person; a brief description of each
<strong>organizer's background</strong>, including relevant past
experience in organizing events.</p></li>
