The 11th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC) is
looking for tutorial proposals to be held along with the main conference in
the historic town of Coimbra, Portugal on June 29th (full day) and 30th
(morning) 2020. We welcome proposals covering between one and four
120-minute sessions, and addressing any aspect of computational creativity
research. Each proposal will be evaluated by independent reviewers.


Tutorials are a great opportunity to benefit the wider community, to raise
awareness of a topic, and a chance to drive broader adoption of e.g. your
system or method. A tutorial can offer attendees to (i) explore new
methods, techniques, and practices, (ii) develop new skills in order to
innovate, or (iii) become inspired to pursue new ideas. We welcome any
format, but generally encourage opportunities for the audience to interact
with the taught subject.


We expect tutorials to provide clear practical value to the intended
audience and to be accessible given basic knowledge of computational
creativity research. A tutorial could:

- Introduce the audience to emerging areas, new technologies and methods
for computational creativity research;

- Provide a substantial overview of state-of-the-art research on a certain
topic;

- Raise and discuss ethical and societal implications of computational
creativity;

- Provide meta-skills, such as writing papers and grant proposals, making
research videos, giving presentations, etc.


You are welcome to contact the tutorial chair to discuss your ideas before
submitting a full proposal (email below).


The ICCC’20 local team is likely going to offer live streaming technology
and support to tutorial organisers, so that all content and discussions can
be recorded and shared. We also provide student volunteers where needed,
e.g. to support interactive sessions.


In an effort to encourage fresh perspectives, we offer a limited amount of
conference fee waivers for tutorial (co-)organisers who have not previously
presented at ICCC or engaged with the ICCC community. Decisions will be
made on a case-by-case basis.


**** Important dates ****

Tutorial proposal submissions due: March 1st, 2020.


Organisers are invited to submit their proposals earlier than the deadline
and request an earlier response.


Notification of tutorial acceptance: May 1st, 2020, with earlier acceptance
possible at the chairs’ discretion.


**** Submission Instructions ****

Please submit a PDF proposal of no more than 3 pages detailing the
following:

- Title and theme of tutorial;

- Organising committee (including affiliations);

- Tutorial aim (also covering why the topic covered matters to
computational creativity), thematic scope (depth and breadth of coverage),
format (interactive vs. non-interactive), and a rough timeline;

- Desired duration (number of 120 minute sessions);

- Target audience and key takeaways for attendees;

- A description of your promotional strategy for attracting attendees (next
to advertising it as part of the conference programme);

- Any technical or space requirements (e.g., projector, PA, whiteboards);

- Whether you require a student volunteer, and for what task(s);

- Whether you would like your tutorial to be streamed;

- Whether or not you are applying for a conference fee waiver to support a
tutorial organiser who has not previously engaged with ICCC and its
community.


Please email your submission as a single PDF file of no more than 5MB to
tutorials-iccc20 at computationalcreativity.net



**** Tutorial Chair ****

Christian Guckelsberger, Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom
