Call

We invite members of the community to host workshops, masterclasses, or panels (WorkMaP) at BCS HCI 2025.

  • Workshops should offer engaging forums for discussing topics of interest and/or particular emerging areas of research around which research groups are forming.
  • Masterclasses are lab based tutorials where a member of the community will demonstrate state-of-the-art methodologies, analysis procedures, and or dissemination of scientific research that may benefit conference attendees
  • Panels are topic centred Q&A sessions structured by a host who will introduce the panel members, invite them to speak for 5 minutes on the chosen topic, before inviting questions from members of the audience.

As Workshops, Masterclasses, and Panels Chairs, we will create a carefully curated list of workshops that reflects the needs and desires of the community. Please note that we might propose modifications and augmentations, such as suggesting that workshops be combined where appropriate.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions to WorkMaP must adhere to the following:

  • Paper length: up to 4 pages (excluding references).
  • Proposals should include: Specify which subtrack (a workshop, a masterclass, or a panel) to which the proposal is targeting, motivation, organizers, asynchronous Engagement (if any), activities, accessibility, and references.

Workshops must also provide a 250-word Call for Participation that will be posted on the conference site to recruit participants for your workshop. This should appear at the end of your workshop proposal and should include the following:
