=========================================== Call for Resource Track Papers
The ISWC 2025 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources that support, enable, or utilize semantic web research. We welcome descriptions of resources that leverage knowledge representation based on Semantic Web standards or other graph data models to improve the acquisition, processing, and sharing of data on the web.
Important Dates: Abstract submission due May 6th, 2025 Full paper submission due May 13th, 2025 Rebuttal June 17th - 20th, 2025 Notifications July 17th, 2025 Camera ready papers due July 31st, 2025

=========================================== Call for In-use Track Papers
The In-Use track seeks submissions describing applied research as well as software tools, systems, or architectures that benefit from the use of Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph technologies (including, but not limited to, technologies based on the Semantic Web standards). Importantly, submitted papers should provide convincing evidence of the use of the proposed application or tool by the target user group, preferably outside the group that conducted the development and, more broadly, outside the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph research communities.

=========================================== Call for Posters and Demos Track Papers
The ISWC 2025 Posters and Demos Track offers an opportunity to showcase late-breaking research results, ongoing research or resource projects, speculative or innovative ideas, and interactive demonstrations. This track is designed to encourage dynamic discussions between presenters and participants, fostering feedback that can shape future research directions. These discussions will offer participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of emerging research trends and to network with other researchers.
Important Dates: Posters & demos submissions due - July 31st, 2025 Author notifications - August 28th, 2025 Camera-ready submissions due - September 11th, 2025

=========================================== Call for Challenges Proposals
A great way to advance the state of the art in a given domain is to create competition. We invite you to propose an ISWC 2025 Challenge, in which you define an open competition on a problem of your choice within the Semantic Web domain.
Important Dates: Challenge proposal submission due Feb 18th, 2025 Notification of challenge acceptance Mar 2nd, 2025

=========================================== Call for Workshops
Workshops at ISWC play a critical role in fostering focused, intensive scientific exchange on specific topics aligned with the conference’s overarching themes. They provide a unique venue for exploring emerging ideas, discussing novel perspectives on established research, and engaging with related research communities. We encourage proposals for workshops that will inspire meaningful dialogue and collaboration among ISWC attendees, providing a platform to advance research and innovation in this dynamic field.
Important dates: Submission deadline - February 18, 2025 Notification to proposers - March 11, 2025 Workshop website and CfP available online - April 8, 2025 Workshop program with list of accepted papers available online - July 29, 2025 Workshop days - November 2-3, 2025

=========================================== Call for Dagstuhl Style Workshops
Inspired by the Special Session at ISWC 2024 and the Dagstuhl Seminar model, these workshops are designed to encourage in-depth discussions on challenges or emerging topics within a half-day or full-day event format. The goal is to create a collaborative and open environment for brainstorming and exploring new directions, similar to the spirit of Dagstuhl Seminars. These workshops will prioritize dynamic discussions and the presentation of fresh ideas and ongoing research, rather than requiring participants to submit papers or give formal presentations.

=========================================== Call for Doctoral Consortium Submissions
The DC event is intended for students who have articulated a reasonably detailed research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results, but are not yet on the final stretch of their thesis, such that the feedback gathered at the DC will have a maximal impact. The aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and to suggest possible ways to improve their research plan and to achieve results with prospective greater impact.
Submissions Due - 3 June 2025 Notifications - 8 July 2025 Camera-ready Submissions Due - 31 July 2025 Doctoral Consortium - 3 November 2025
