BIR 2025 Call for Workshop and Tutorials Proposals
The annual BIR conference is one of the top European conferences in the field of business information systems with a stable research community. Along with the main conference, BIR plan to have a set of co-located workshops an tutorials. BIR 2025 workshops and tutorials are intended to focus on specific aspects of business informatics, providing an opportunity for in-depth exploration and discussion. Some of the workshops have been recurring yearly events, but we welcome proposals for additional workshops.
The workshop and tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of scientific and technical interest, the clarity of the proposal, the innovativeness of the topic, the potential to attract attendees, and the relevance for the field of business informatics.
The organizers of approved workshops and tutorial will be responsible for promoting their workshops/tutorials. For workshop,s orgnansizers form a program committee and manage the paper review and formatting process. Organisers, as well as workshop and tutorial participants, must register for the BIR workshops.
The BIR organisation handles registration, use of conference facilities, financial matters, and communication with the publisher (CEUR).
