Workshops and tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2024 allow your organisation or
project to advance and promote your topics and gain increased
visibility. The workshops and tutorials will be announced on the
SEMANTiCS website and they will be seen by all participants. SEMANTiCS
2024 workshops and tutorials can be incubators for industrial and
scientific communities that form and share a particular research and
development agenda and they will provide a forum for presenting
contributions and findings to a diverse and knowledgeable community.
Furthermore, the event can be used as a dissemination activity in the
scope of large research projects or as a closed format for
research/commercial project consortia meetings.
=Proceedings=
For the proceedings, we offer two options:
Option A: In case you want to maintain an already existing series or
want to have one of your own, please organize the proceedings yourself.
Option B: In case you do not have enough contributions/page volume to
create proceedings of your own, we offer to publish your papers as part
of the SEMANTiCS side event proceedings. Side events proceedings will
include posters & demos and (optional) contributions from workshops.
In case you want to make use of Option B, please get in touch with the
workshop & tutorial chairs or drop us a note via Easychair.
=Setup and Requirements=
SEMANTiCS 2024 workshops and tutorials may be either half or full day
long. Workshops and tutorials take place on the days before and/or after
the main SEMANTiCS 2024 EU conference (17th of September 2024). Further
details will be communicated in due time.
Organizers of workshops and tutorials will be granted three free tickets
(only for the workshop & tutorial day) for organization purposes or
keynotes. Participants of workshops and tutorials will only be charged a
reduced fee to cover the basic costs.

The MPIDR is an equal opportunities employer. Our work atmosphere includes respectful treatment of each other, with gender, nationality, religion, disability, age, cultural origin, and sexual identity playing no role. We aim to have an institutional culture that enables everyone to develop their individual skills and competencies.
The Max Planck Society offers a broad range of measures to support the reconciliation of work and family. These are complemented by the MPIDR's own initiatives. The Society has been awarded the certificate "Work and Family" which is granted to institutions committed to establishing a family-friendly corporate culture by binding target agreements. The MPIDR collaborates with a network of local day-care centers that provides childcare places for the children of Institute staff. The Max Planck Society has contracts with a private family service company that offers services such as arranging child care on short notice in various cities in Germany for parents who attend conferences, care services for children of school age up to 14 years, and support for those caring for family members and relatives. The MPIDR also practices flexible working-time models, which include at least one home office day per week, and scheduling meetings only within core working hours. To help accompanying spouses and partners find appropriate work at their new location, the MPIDR works in close cooperation with Dual-Career Partners in regional networks.
The MPIDR values diversity and is keen to employ individuals from minorities. We are committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in our workforce and therefore encourage
applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourage women to apply.

Hi all,
The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed on Wednesday, February 21,
at 8:30 AM PST / 16:30 UTC. Find your local time here
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1708533000>. The theme for this showcase is
*Platform Governance and Policies*.
You are welcome to watch via the YouTube stream:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1xYwRw1rHU. As usual, you can join the
conversation in the YouTube chat as soon as the showcase goes live.
This month's presentation:
Sociotechnical Designs for Democratic and Pluralistic Governance of Social
Media and AIBy *Amy X. Zhang, University of Washington*Decisions about
policies when using widely-deployed technologies, including social media
and more recently, generative AI, are often made in a centralized and
top-down fashion. Yet these systems are used by millions of people, with a
diverse set of preferences and norms. Who gets to decide what are the
rules, and what should the procedures be for deciding them---and must we
all abide by the same ones? In this talk, I draw on theories and lessons
from offline governance to reimagine how sociotechnical systems could be
designed to provide greater agency and voice to everyday users and
communities. This includes the design and development of: 1) personal
moderation and curation controls that are usable and understandable to
laypeople, 2) tools for authoring and carrying out governance to suit a
community's needs and values, and 3) decision-making workflows for
large-scale democratic alignment that are legitimate and consistent.
