[CfP] ESWC 2026 - Call for Project Networking 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 2026 Project Networking Track provides a forum for research
projects to connect, exchange knowledge, and explore synergies across the
Semantic Web community. It aims to foster collaboration, support the
sharing of data and technologies, and lay the groundwork for future joint
initiatives, funding proposals, and partnerships.

Participants can present their projects to a broad audience, discuss
results and requirements, and identify opportunities for collaboration. The
track welcomes submissions from concluding, ongoing, and upcoming projects,
provided they are clearly aligned with ESWC core topics.

Selected projects will engage in dedicated networking activities during the
conference, including a short pitch session, a poster session, and a
networking lunch. These formats are designed to stimulate interaction,
increase project visibility, and support the creation of meaningful
connections within the ESWC community.


Important Dates
submissions Thursday 9th April 2026
Notification of acceptance  Thursday 16th April 2026

All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth (UTC-12).
