The ECSCW 2025 Workshops provide an opportunity to engage in discussions with other researchers, present and illustrate new developments on different themes within CSCW, provoke and reflect on novel perspectives, and receive feedback on early ideas in a convivial and constructive manner. 

ECSCW 2025 invites workshop proposals addressing basic research questions, new methodologies and approaches, innovative technologies, and emerging research areas with a special focus on sustainability. We also encourage proposals that address computing’s impact on societal issues and/or the ECSCW communities’ broad interest in theories, methods, and approaches from other disciplines interested in working across societies and computing. Workshops are good venues for involving attendees in working together to share, reflect, and develop new insights. At ECSCW 2025 we encourage workshops proposals that get out into the community and connect with local community groups. We are keen to help organisers who wish to hold a workshop in a specific community space (see a list of examples here) and who seek to collaborate with local movements and organisations. Workshops may be half-day or full-day sessions and involve field trips, site visits, or any other relevant activities in the community. Outcomes might include journal special issues, blogs, or new collaborations. 

We encourage accepted workshop organizers to create web-based resources for their workshops so that advertising, submission, and organization can be handled online.
