Workshop dayTBA (in October 31 — November 3), 2022

FOCS 2022 will hold workshops during the conference week, October 31- November 3, 2022. We invite groups of interested researchers to submit workshop proposals.

The FOCS 2022 workshops provide an informal forum for researchers to discuss important research questions, directions and challenges in the field. Workshops often serve the important purpose of introducing researchers to new areas and agendas. We also encourage workshops that focus on connections between theoretical computer science and other areas.

Format: Each workshop should be either 3 hours or 6 hours, for a total of 18 hours dedicated to all workshops. Workshops are expected to happen in-person.

Proposal Submission

Workshop and tutorial proposals should, ideally, fit within two pages. Please include a list of names and email addresses of the organizers, a brief description of the topic and the goals of the workshop, and the format (overview talks, invited talks, contributed talks, poster session, panel discussion, etc) and proposed or tentatively confirmed speakers if known. The proposal should specify the desired duration (3 hours or 6 hours).

We encourage proposals to directly address how the topics will fit together and how the format will help researchers, not already acquainted with the subarea, learn about it. If your proposal is accepted and you wish to solicit contributed talks, we can link to your call-for-contributions from the FOCS 2022 page. Feel free to contact the workshop co-chairs directly at focs2022workshops@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Submission Instructions

Proposals should be submitted by August 7, 2022 via email to focs2022workshops@gmail.com. Proposers will be notified by August 21, 2022 whether their proposals have been accepted. Here is a sample template for workshop proposals; you may use another format if you prefer.
