In an era where personalization technologies increasingly shape human decision-making, integrating sustainability and social good into user-adaptive systems has become an essential challenge. Adaptive systems influence choices across many contexts, including health, mobility, education, and media consumption, positioning them as key technologies for supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. UMAP4Good 2026 provides an interdisciplinary venue to explore how personalization can support sustainable behaviors, ethical decision-making, and positive societal impact.
We welcome works at various stages of development, including applied systems, empirical results, or theoretically grounded positions. We invite submissions in the form of full papers, reproducibility papers, short papers, and extended abstracts. Note: Accepted papers (full, reproducibility, and short) will be published in the proceedings (CEUR). Extended abstracts are editorially reviewed for workshop presentation only and will not be included in the proceedings.
