CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

For the The 17th edition of RCIS (International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science; Corfu, Greece, 23-26 May, 2023; http://www.rcis-conf.com/rcis2023/), we invite proposals of workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. The workshops will aim to promote the exchange, cross-fertilization, and dissemination of new ideas among the members of the RCIS community, both researchers and practitioners.

Apart from traditional paper presentations, we encourage discussion sessions among the workshop participants to facilitate involvement and interaction. We invite proposals that tackle research challenge ideas in the scope of information science and are in line with the conference theme (Information Science and the Connected World) and topics (http://www.rcis-conf.com/rcis2023/callPapers.php). The workshops can be half- or full-day and will take place on May 23, 2023.

The workshop organisers have the following obligations:

  • Compose a program committee (PC) with a variety of members from different institutions and regions;
