[Flavio Giobergia]

Dear colleagues,

The ECML/PKDD 2023 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials and workshops to be held on the first and last days of the conference (September 18th and 22nd, 2023), which will take place in Turin, Italy.

Below you can find additional information on deadlines and guidelines. The complete call, with additional information, is available at: https://2023.ecmlpkdd.org/submissions/tutorials-workshops-proposals/.

You can reach out to the Workshop & Tutorial Chairs at ecml-pkdd-2023-work...@googlegroups.com.

===============
Important dates
===============
* Workshop and Tutorials Proposal Deadline: 19 March 2023
* Workshop and Tutorials Proposal acceptance Notification: 7 April 2023
* Workshop Paper Submission Deadline: 12 June 2023
* Workshop Paper Author Notification: 17 July 2023

==================
Tutorial Proposals
==================

We solicit proposals for half-day tutorials intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to established or emerging research topics of interest to the machine learning and data mining community. These topics include related research fields or applications but also well-developed tools and suites that support ML/DM research.

=================================
Guidelines for Tutorial Proposals
=================================

Tutorial proposals should contain at least the following:

* A title and abstract of the tutorial.
* A brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the ECML PKDD community.
* A brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial’s core content can be covered in a 4 hours slot.
* The names and contact information of the tutorial instructors, including one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise.
* A list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate of the audience size.
* A description of special requirements for technical equipment.
* Please provide a link to slides from earlier similar tutorials (if any).

==================
Workshop Proposals
==================

We solicit proposals for both full- and half-day workshops in current and emerging topics in machine learning and data mining. Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss novel topics in a small and interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application domains or issues, or to questions concerning the economic and social aspects of machine learning and data mining. Multidisciplinary workshops that bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities are particularly welcome. We offer a waived registration fee for attendance of the main conference to one organizer or invited speaker for each accepted no-online workshop.


=================================
Guidelines for Workshop Proposals
=================================

Workshop proposals should contain the necessary information for the workshop chairs and reviewers to judge the importance, quality, and community interest in the proposed topic (a minimum of 15-20 expected participants is required). Each workshop should have one or more designated organisers and a program. When proposing a workshop, please provide (at least) the following information:

* A brief description of the specific issues that the workshop will address, the reasons why the workshop is of interest, the main research areas involved, and what the workshop will add to the conference.
* Contact information of the workshop chairs, their competence in the proposed topic(s), and previous experience in chairing scientific events.
* A tentative list of Program Committee members and potential invited speakers.
* A draft of the Call for Papers, including information on accepted formats and expected format of the workshop.
* Any special requirements regarding logistics, if applicable.
* An estimate of the number of expected submissions, and an estimate of the number of expected workshop participants at the conference.
