For the 2nd European Symposium on Societal Challenges in Computational
Social Science we are calling for different types of submissions:
- extended abstract of research to be presented as short TALKS OR
POSTERS (deadline August 1)
- proposals for WORKSHOPS OR TUTORIALS to be held on the pre-symposium
day (deadline August 1)
- creative ideas to work with the datasets in our DATASET CHALLENGE
(deadline September 1)
- applications to participate in our DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM (deadline
September 1)
- Authors of accepted submissions of all types also qualify for
applications for TRAVEL GRANTS (deadline September 1)
Below you will find information on how to apply for the different formats.
-------------------------------------
CONFERENCE SCOPE
-------------------------------------
The Symposium is an interdisciplinary venue that brings together
researchers from a diverse range of disciplines to contribute to the
definition and exploration of the societal challenges in Computational
Social Science, especially around the topics of inequality and imbalance.
We welcome submissions in the intersection of the social sciences and
the computer sciences, including (a) new approaches for understanding
social phenomena and addressing societal challenges, (b) improving
methods for computational social science, (c) and understanding the
influence of the Web and digital technologies on society.
--------------------------------
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS (TALKS OR POSTERS)
--------------------------------
Submission deadline: August 1, 2018
Submit via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csssymposium18
Submissions should be abstracts of approx. 2-3 pages (up to 1000 words
plus references and figures) summarizing the work to be presented. We
encourage researchers to also submit abstracts of work that has already
been published and/or submit work in progress. Please give a
sufficiently detailed description of your work and your methods so we
can adequately assess its relevance. Please consider that reviewers will
be from an interdisciplinary community.
Submissions may be accepted as talks or posters.

--------------------------------
WORKSHOP + TUTORIALS
--------------------------------
Submission deadline: August 1, 2018
Submit via email: (css.eurosymposium /at/ gmail.com)
Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be no more than three pages
in length, written in English, and should contain the following:
- A concise title
- The names, affiliations, and contact information of the organizers
- Planned duration of the event (half-day or full-day meeting)
- A short abstract describing the scope and main objective of the event
- A description of the proposed event format and a detailed list of
proposed activities

--------------------------------
DATASET CHALLENGE
--------------------------------
Submission deadline: September 1, 2018
Submit via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csssymposium18
We provide links to three suggested datasets on the topic of political
communication and ask participants to creatively and innovatively engage
with these datasets. A jury will select the best presentation (including
any created resources, such as secondary datasets or analysis code) to
be awarded the very first Euro CSS Dataset Challenge Award.
The work presented at the symposium can be early stage, but should be
methodically sound and provide either preliminary insights into an
interesting research question or first inductively-reached conclusions
of systematic patterns of bias in the dataset. These can also be on a
meta-level or may be designated to positioning the work in broader
theoretical contexts, e.g., about biases in the data collection.
Submissions should be abstracts of approx. 2-3 pages (maximum up to 1000
words plus references and figures).

--------------------------------
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
--------------------------------
Submission deadline: September 1, 2018
Submit via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csssymposium18
Please submit a PDF file of up to approx. 1000 words with the following
information:
– an abstract of the PhD thesis topic including information about the
research question, applied methods and the current state of progress
– a short paragraph about the applicant’s biography
– a paragraph on open questions that the applicant would want to discuss
with experts in the field

TRAVEL GRANTS
--------------------------------
Submission deadline: September 1, 2018
Submit via email: (css.eurosymposium /at/ gmail.com)
Due to the generous funding by Volkswagen Foundation we are able to
offer a limited number of travel grants to researchers whose submissions
are accepted for the symposium (presenters of talks or posters at the
main symposium, workshop or tutorial organizers, participants of
doctoral consortium and dataset challenge).
To apply for a travel grant please send an email with the subject
“Travel Grant” to (css.eurosymposium /at/ gmail.com) including the following
information: a) your submission number in EasyChair or the title of your
submitted workshop/tutorial, b) your contact details, c) your motivation
for the grant application and d) whether you will still attend the
symposium without a travel grant.
