Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals

We invite proposals for two-day, full-day, and half-day workshops and tutorials at HHAI 2027, the sixth International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence.

The HHAI 2027 workshops and tutorials provide a platform for discussing topics related to Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence with an audience specifically interested in those topics, in a more informal setting than the main conference.

We invite submissions for events fostering cross-disciplinary interaction, scientific discourse, and creative and critical reflection rather than just mini-conferences. We offer organisers flexibility on formats that best suit the goals of their event. We also welcome submissions from research communities that may not be prominently featured in AI events and conferences.

Workshops and Tutorials will be held in person. Online or remote versions will not be accepted.

Important dates

Submission deadline:

All deadlines are 23:59 AoE (anywhere on Earth)

Types of Events

We welcome three types of contributions: traditional workshops, interactive events, and tutorials.

Traditional workshops typically align with the topics and challenges outlined in the main conference call for papers. Workshop organisers may consider a programme that includes one or more invited talks, as well as presentations of accepted papers centred around a particular theme.

We encourage workshops that focus on emerging topics and applications, open research questions and challenges, and broader themes of interest to the wider community. In addition, we also encourage workshops with previous editions in HHAI, which could attract communities that have been working in the same research area for some years.

In the spirit of reflection and community-building, we invite academics from all disciplines and people representing different communities of practice (including journalism, advocacy, activism, education, art, law, and policy) to contribute creative and reflective events related to HHAI.

The format for these events is flexible. Alternative formats include but are not limited to:

  • Lightning Talks
    Short, time-limited presentations, usually lasting 5–10 minutes, where speakers quickly share key ideas or insights on a topic. They are designed to be concise and engaging, often used in conferences or workshops to cover a wide range of topics quickly.
  • Debates or Rump Sessions
    Informal, open-ended discussions where participants debate topics, share ideas, or discuss unresolved issues in a less structured format than formal sessions. Often, these discussions are lively and allow for spontaneous, free-flowing conversation;
  • Unconferences
    A participant-driven, informal conference where attendees propose and lead sessions or discussions on topics of interest. Unlike traditional conferences with pre-scheduled agendas, an unconference allows for flexible, spontaneous collaboration and open sharing of ideas.
  • Open space or World Café Sessions
    Facilitative group discussion formats where participants engage in collaborative conversations on topics of mutual interest. In “Open Space”, attendees create their own agenda and move between discussions freely, while in “World Café”, small groups rotate between tables, sharing ideas in a structured, conversational environment. Both aim to foster open dialogue and collective problem-solving.
  • Interactive Workshops
    A hands-on, participatory session where attendees actively engage in activities, exercises, or discussions to learn and apply new skills or knowledge. The focus is on collaboration, practice, and direct involvement rather than passive listening.
  • Competitions
    Competitions serve as a powerful tool for encouraging researchers to engage in discussions, exchange knowledge, and advance the development and assessment of theories and practices in hybrid intelligence systems. By introducing challenging competitions to the HHAI community, competition organisers can help push the state of the art in specific fields and address problems of practical significance.

Unlike the workshops and interactive events, tutorials are intended for reasonably well-established topics. However, given that HHAI is an emerging research field, we particularly welcome tutorials that connect well-established topics in AI and other disciplines to HHAI related themes. We encourage tutorials to be interactive in order to engage participants.

Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

  • Introduce newcomers to major topics of HHAI research;
  • Survey a mature area of HHAI research or practice;
  • Motivate and explain an HHAI topic of emerging importance;
  • Present a novel synthesis combining distinct HHAI research lines;
  • Discuss or showcase technological resources of value to the HHAI research community;
  • Introduce the HHAI community to an external topic that may inspire, benefit from, or contribute to HHAI research.

Submission guidelines

Your proposal should not exceed 8 pages (excluding references) in the IOS format and must include the following information:

  • Title and abstract of the workshop or the tutorial.
  • Name, affiliation, and short bio of each organiser.
    – We recommend at least two organisers who are knowledgeable in the field but have complementary expertise.
    – In addition to the main organisers, workshops can employ additional organisations, e.g., a programme committee for evaluating the contributions.
  • The topics and issues on which the workshop or the tutorial will focus.
  • The intended workshop or tutorial duration (two hours, half-day, full-day event, two-day event).
  • A link to the prior iteration of this workshop or tutorial, if applicable.
    – You can also discuss other closely related workshops.
  • A brief description of the workshop or tutorial format, e.g., the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussion.
  • The targeted audience size.
  • A brief description of your plan to attract people to your workshop
  • Special requirements, such as equipment, if any.
    – Include a note if you have any special requirements for your session that are not addressed elsewhere.
  • Supporting material, if any.
  • If you have additional materials supporting your proposal, such as a video example of the facilitation, a website, or written workbooks, you can also include that in your proposal.

Proposals must be submitted via Easychair.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Connection to and relevance for the objectives of the HHAI conference and the objectives listed in this particular call.
  • Scientific quality: The potential of the proposal to generate stimulating discussions and useful results about scientific problems related to HHAI
  • Clarity, coherence, and comprehensiveness of the plan
  • Diversity and inclusion: Thoughtfulness in the approach detailed to ensure engagement and participation of a broad audience. Diversity in backgrounds of the workshop organizers and intended presenters/contributors.

Workshop and Tutorial Proceedings

We plan to collect and compile a collected volume of HHAI 2027 Workshop and Tutorial proceedings under the CEUR-WS umbrella after the conference, which, while not mandatory, we encourage workshops to contribute to. For this reason, we encourage the interested workshop and tutorial organizers to read the CEUR-WS guidelines carefully and to collect submissions in an adequate format.
