CoPDA 2025 - 9th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in
the Digital Age: Sustainability Perspectives and Frameworks for Making
Cultures of Participation Successful
https://copda.unimi.it
June 16th, 2025 - Munich, Germany
In conjunction with IS-EUD 2025 (https://iseud2025.ubicomp.net)
--------
Overview
--------
This 9th edition of the CoPDA workshop aims to explore the intersection
of sustainability and cultures of participation in diverse contexts. As
participatory cultures become central to addressing complex global
challenges (as defined by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals), they require robust
sustainability frameworks to ensure their long-term viability. This
workshop will examine how environmental, social, economic,
technological, and cultural sustainability principles can inform and
enhance participatory systems by supporting community-driven design with
end-user development. Participants will engage in interactive sessions
to identify and discuss strategies for fostering evolution,
adaptability, and educational innovation within cultures of
participation. The participants will be able to ground, present, and
highlight practical frameworks and real-world case studies, focusing on
how sustainable participation can amplify collective creativity in
coping with wicked problems.
The workshop hopes to attract submissions from researchers and
practitioners from various backgrounds and communities, such as
designers and users of socio-technical environments, AI researchers,
learning scientists, and educators to explore the following fundamental
issues:
- Identifying and integrating sustainability principles into design
processes.
- Supporting ongoing engagement through meta-design and digital tools.
- Exploring the role of emerging technologies (specifically related to
AI and LLMs) in fostering sustainable participation.
- Exploring how involving users in the adaptation of design tools
through EUD can help ensure these tools better support sustainability goals.
- Investigating how educational programs and courses can shape visions
and scenarios of sustainable communities, helping to anticipate both
desired and undesired outcomes.
- Examining what sustainable online communities can learn from the
enduring qualities and behaviors of natural systems, like insect
colonies and the climate.

The theme of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter
(CHItaly 2025) is “Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer
Interaction in the Third Millennium”. It invites us to reflect on how
technological advances continue to redefine our interactions with the
digital world.
Over the last two decades, the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
has evolved rapidly, adapting to innovations that have transformed everyday
life. Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Augmented and Virtual Reality,
Robotics, voice interfaces, wearable devices, and the Internet of Things
has brought HCI to the forefront of scientific inquiry, offering novel
possibilities and complex challenges. These technologies are not only
changing how we use digital systems but also influencing the ways we think,
learn, communicate, and interact on a personal, social, and organizational
level.
This year’s conference aims to inspire a comprehensive dialogue on how
these technologies are reshaping the landscape of HCI and redefining the
boundaries of human capabilities. Participants will be invited to engage
with questions surrounding ethical implications, accessibility,
inclusivity, user experience, and the sustainability of emerging
technologies. The theme encourages contributors to share insights on
methodologies that adapt to these changes, from user-centred design
practices to innovative evaluation methods for complex, adaptive systems.
We invite submissions of short&full papers and pictorials that contribute
to the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus).
SCOPE
A journal-first paper submitted to ECSA 2025 must adhere to the following criteria:
• The paper must have been accepted after peer review by one between JSS, IEEE Software,
IST or TSE.
• The paper is in the scope of the conference.
• The paper has not been presented at and is not under consideration for journal-first
programs of other conferences.
PAPER SUBMISSION
We invite authors of papers that meet the above criteria to submit a proposal that includes a
summary of the original paper that highlights the contributions, motivates the relevance for
the ECSA, and briefly discusses how the work has developed after the original publication -
if it is the case. Please include the DOI of the original journal paper. ECSA offers an opportunity
to disseminate your work to a broader community audience.
The submission must be 3-4 pages long and conform to the Springer LNCS style
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…).
Accepted submissions will be invited to present at the conference. The track chairs will write a
summary of the accepted submissions that will be included in the conference proceedings.
Proposals must be submitted via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2025
conference, selecting the "Journal First" Track:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecsa2025 .
EVALUATION
Authors will be invited to present their paper at ECSA 2025 if it meets the above criteria. Please
note that we plan to include as many journal-first papers as possible in the ECSA main program.
However, if we receive an exceptionally high number of submissions, we may have to prioritize
presentation proposals according to their fit to the conference theme and sessions structure.
As the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by a journal, we will not review the
submission for technical content; instead, we will focus on the track’s criteria.
PRESENTATION
ECSA 2025 is planned to be an in-person/physical conference. The journal-first paper
presentations are part of the ECSA conference’s main program. As a journal-first presenter,
you will benefit from the conference presentation in many ways, such as, outreach to a broader
audience and interactions and discussions with peers. At least one author of each submission
accepted for the journal-first program must register and attend the conference to present the
paper.
IMPORTANT DATES
• Paper submission: May 23, 2025

Call For Papers
CFP for the 2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users (
IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval
Accessible for All
Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 48th International ACM SIGIR
Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, which will
take place 13th-18th July 2025 in Padua, Italy
Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research.
Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what
we might term 'conventional' users, such as adults from the global north.
We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight research and industry efforts
that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups.
Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and
adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities,
or those with specific learning needs.
In this second iteration of IR4U2, we will focus more specifically on a
**user-centred AI perspective**, which we believe is vital for informing
the design, development, and assessment of IR systems that thoughtfully
address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine
accessibility and inclusivity.
We aim to
• Build, extend and maintain a community involving multi-disciplinary Ph.D.
students, academics, and industry practitioners aiming to advance
understanding of core (AI for) IR technology and its impact on a broad
range of understudied users.
• Take inventory of the different kinds of use cases, research work,
ongoing efforts, and existing resources while reflecting on the progress
made since the last IR4U2 iteration.
• Define guidelines to promote user-centric design of IR systems.
• Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by and
at the service of specific user groups
IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop. This
will involve informal interactions, facilitated group work, and brief
presentations of accepted contributions. These contributions will help
construct a snapshot of the current works in this area.
Topics of interest include:
-
User-centered design of IR algorithms for understudied users
-
User-centric design of user interfaces for IR for understudied users
-
The use of AI for enhancing IR systems for understudied users
-
The positive and negative impact of AI on IR for understudied users
-
User modeling to enable IR and recommendation technologies tailored to
understudied populations
-
Data collection and benchmark development of IR catering to understudied
populations.
-
IR applications targeting understudied populations
-
IR techniques in the era of LLM and generative models with and for
understudied populations
This is not an exhaustive list, as we are also interested in contributions
discussing challenges inherent to designing IR technology at the service of
understudied user groups–from the need for multidisciplinary,
multi-stakeholder collaborations to how to build datasets.
Submissions:
Peer reviewed contributions. These include research papers presenting
empirical explorations, user studies, and/or new algorithms related to the
open problems listed in topics of interest, as well as position/vision
contributions discussing uses cases, challenges, and future research
directions. These contributions should be submitted on EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ir4u20) at least 4 pages, but up to
12 (excluding references) formatted in CEURART’s single-column template (
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/one-column-layout-template-for-sub…).
Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop and published in
workshop proceedings.
Editorially-reviewed contributions. To enable potential attendees to
articulate their views on the topics of the workshop, share
already-published works, bring awareness to ongoing European projects in
this area, etc., we ask the submission of a short extended abstract. This
type of informal submission (via this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoz0WWHx_0EXcPc9AZOTw6zx07gSolQ61…
)
will be editorially
reviewed by workshop organizers to gauge fit as well as themes of interest
for group discussions. Accepted contributions will be presented at the
workshop, but not published in the proceedings.
