Workshop Proposals for TPDL 2026 - The 30th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries

Overview

TPDL 2026 https://tpdl2026.ualg.pt/ invites submissions for workshop proposals on topics related to the scope of the conference and beyond. TPDL 2026 workshops will provide a forum for presenting innovative ideas, emerging research areas, and new practices relevant to digital libraries, in a setting that is more focused and interactive than the main conference.

Workshop proposals that push the field of digital libraries and related technical, practical, and social issues in new and forward-looking directions are especially encouraged. Workshops may target practitioners, researchers, or a combination of both, and should be designed to foster discussion, interaction, and collaboration among participants.

Workshops may be organized as half-day or full-day events.

Topics

Overarching topics for TPDL 2026 include, but are not limited to:

• Information Management
• Monitoring and Assessment of Science
• Knowledge Creation and Dissemination
• Digital Libraries as Enablers of Science across Disciplines
• Societal Issues in Digital Libraries
• Information Retrieval
• Document Analysis and Recognition

Workshop Proposals

Workshop proposals should be no longer than 4 pages plus references and must include:

• The background and motivation for the workshop
