FOIS main track call for papers: 30 March 2025 (strict)
================================

The Tutorial Chairs for FOIS 2025 invite proposals for tutorials to be
held on-site in conjunction with FOIS 2025, during the week of the
main conference which will take place 08-12 September 2025 in Catania,
Italy.
FOIS 2025 seeks original and highly relevant proposals for tutorials
to complement the conference program. The tutorial program will
address the diverse interests of its audience: ontologies, formal
ontology, and knowledge management and their application in
information science or other areas. Moreover, tutorials can be an
excellent opportunity to cover basic or advanced topics related to
ontology research, ranging from cognitive science to knowledge
representation, natural language processing, artificial intelligence,
logic, philosophy, and linguistics as well as well-established or
emerging research areas, techniques, methodologies and perspectives
related to the ontology field.
In 2025, we are looking for individuals and teams of presenters who
would like to offer a tutorial specifically designed as a basic or an
advanced description of a topic, or as a showcase of relevant
techniques. We privilege diversity in the organizing team as well as
the presence of young researchers and PhD students. Moreover, up to 1
instructor per tutorial can have their registration fees waived for
the tutorials as well as for JOWO 2025, the Joint Ontology Workshops
(https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dmi.unict.it%2Ffois2025%2F%3Fpage_id%3D422&data=05%7C02%7Ce.j.top%40uu.nl%7C8b4dc551fa714930715708dd33d773e1%7Cd72758a0a4464e0fa0aa4bf95a4a10e7%7C0%7C0%7C638723723302919329%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C60000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=1cndL8Sdek%2BRaPLaJDo0K7pZXEgD1Ifexl1miDYyFJk%3D&reserved=0<https://www.dmi.unict.it/fois2025/?page_id=422>) which are co-located
with FOIS 2025.

Format

Proposals should be no more than 2 pages in length, and must contain
the following information:

- a brief CV of the presenters, including their experience in tutorial
organization;
Please indicate a primary contact person.

interested in the topic.
