[CfP] ESWC 2026 - Call for Papers: Industry Track

(Apologies for cross-posting)

The European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) is a major venue for academic
research and developments in the area of the Semantic Web and Knowledge
Graphs. The 23rd edition will take place from May 10 to 14, 2026, in
Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The ESWC industry track is a forum for exchanging ideas, results, and
lessons learned amongst Semantic Web researchers, technologists, and
product leaders across industry and academia. The goal is to learn from the
process of bringing cutting-edge Semantic Web research to state-of-the-art
applications and to align current research efforts with existing real-world
requirements that justify the adoption of novel approaches in the face of
otherwise unfeasible challenges.

The industry track aims to identify the application domains of Semantic Web
technologies that present the state of adoption of Semantic Web
technologies in the industry, and facilitate a discussion about what
current industry challenges can be addressed with Semantic Web
technologies, the hurdles that may stand in the way of broader adoption,
and any novel problems and use cases. Across all submissions, emphasis
should be put on demonstrating the value and impact created by using
knowledge graphs and Semantic Web technologies to address real-world
industry problems. We explicitly welcome papers that report on "negative"
results.
