Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals

The ECML PKDD 2025 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held on the first and last days of the
conference (September 15th and 19th, 2025), which will take place in Porto, Portugal. We solicit proposals for full- and
half-day workshops on current and emerging machine learning and data mining topics. Workshops allow discussion of novel
topics in a small and interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate in-depth on research topics but can also be devoted
to application domains, issues, or 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 also welcome proposals for less conventional ECMLPKDD workshop formats, e.g., those similar in
spirit to CRAFT workshops at FAccT, which are currently running EU projects and other interactive events. We offer a
waived registration fee for attendance at the main conference to one organizer or invited speaker for each accepted workshop.
We intend to facilitate additional workshop-only waived registrations for invited speakers outside the ECMLPKDD community.

------------------------------------------
Duration and format
------------------------------------------
We welcome full- and half-day workshop proposals and tutorial+workshop proposals. Full-day workshops have a program of
typically 8 hours, including two 30-minute coffee breaks plus a lunch break. Half-day workshops have a 4 hours program with
a 30-minute coffee break. Combined tutorial + workshop events start with a half-day tutorial followed by a half-day workshop.
We encourage proposers to aim for a varied and exciting program. Especially where the workshop format is concerned, we would
like you to consider going beyond the usual list of presentations of accepted papers. Remember that the main conference is
necessarily more time-constrained, and workshops allow for group explorations of exciting topics through discussions, demo
sessions, invited talks, and panels. Another way of extending the usual format is to include a specific challenge problem that
can be addressed by the workshop participants with a dedicated challenge session in the workshop program. Note, however, that
the challenge should be only one of the components of the workshop, targeting a problem specific to the workshop topic(s).
