Call for Conference Papers
We invite researchers and practitioners to submit (Full) Conference Papers to the ECSCW 2026. With Conference Papers, authors have the opportunity to publish concise and focused empirical or conceptual studies to support progress in a specific sub-domain of CSCW.
If you want to present a pointed insight from your fieldwork, have a compact argument to make, or describe an insightful experience from designing, implementing, or sustaining a system for collaboration, this publication format is the right choice for you. This could include, but is not limited to, the following:
- A new methodology for designing or examining CSCW technologies
- Insights from the implementation of an IT system supporting collaboration
- First experiences and insights from the use of a new system supporting collaboration
- A case study of collaborative technology in a domain not typically studied in CSCW research
- A discussion or unfolding of new CSCW theory
We look forward to previously unpublished, concise, and insightful submissions that make substantive progress in a field of CSCW and can benefit from presentation and discussion at the ECSCW conference. If you are submitting a Conference Paper on accessibility or assistive technology, please refer to the SIGACCESS guidelines on writing about disability. If you have a provocative, challenging idea that still needs more shaping and discussion, you might want to consider Exploratory Papers instead.
Submission Format and Process
While the length of Conference Papers is flexible, we expect they will be no longer than 6,000 words without references. Longer versions should be justified (using the specific text field on EasyChair). All authors must follow the EUSSET conference template. Submissions should be in PDF format and must be anonymized. Conference Papers submissions will undergo a double-blind, single-round peer review.
Submissions will be selected for presentation based on the opinions of the reviewers. No shepherding or additional rounds of reviews are planned. For any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the ECSCW 2026 Program Chair.
Selection Process
Each Conference Paper will have at least two anonymous reviewers from the ECSCW Program Committee assigned by the ECSCW 2026 Program Chair. The final decision on acceptance/rejection will be made by the Program Chair, relying on the reviews by the anonymous reviewers.
Conference Papers that are not in the appropriate submission format or do not fall within the scope of the conference will be desk rejected.
Contributions submitted as Conference Papers can, at the discretion of the Program Chair, be redirected to the Exploratory Papers track.
Publication and Copyright Information
All accepted Conference Papers will be published in the European Society for Embedded Technologies (EUSSET) Digital Library. Each paper will be assigned a DOI.

Instead, it requires only sufficient rights that allow “readers to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search and link to the full texts of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose except where otherwise noted”.
The authors will have several options when it comes to copyright upon paper acceptance:
- grant EUSSET a non-exclusive and irrevocable license to distribute the article and certify that they have the right to grant this license;

In the most common case, authors have the right to grant these licenses because they hold copyright in their work.
Submission of camera ready versions for publication
The deadline for submitting camera ready versions (PDFs) of accepted conference papers is May 29, 2026.
