Call For Workshop Proposals
Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for
presenting developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing
together researchers and practitioners in the field. Following this story of success, in 2016
IEEE initiated the European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P), which is
organized every year in a European city. The 10th EuroS&P edition will be held from June 30th to July 4th,
2025 in Venice, Italy and
is organized by Università Ca'Foscari Venezia. Pre-conference workshops will take place on
Monday, June 30th, 2025 , and post-conference workshops on Friday, July 4th, 2025 .
A workshop associated with IEEE EuroS&P 2025 is meant to enrich the program of the main
conference, thereby providing a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of security
and privacy research.
Submissions of workshop proposals must reach the workshop chairs by the deadline
indicated below, and must be done through the following submission website:
https://submission.intellisec.de/eurosp25-workshops
If proceedings are planned, the default option offered is publication through IEEE Xplore in a
volume accompanying the main IEEE EuroS&P 2025 proceedings.
Workshop registration will be done together with the main conference, allowing
workshop-only registrations as well. Support for each accepted workshop includes rooms
and catering (coffee break and lunch) for the day of the workshop. Other expenses must be covered by the individual workshops.
Workshop Proposal Submission
Workshop Proposals should be submitted as a single .pdf document, are limited to 5 pages (approx. 3000 words), and should include the following information:
- Workshop title and acronym;
- Abstract, outlining the aim and scope of the workshop;
- Proposed format (e.g., research-oriented, hands-on exercises, hot talks);
- Planned activities (e.g., invited speakers, panels);
- [if applicable] Expected number of submissions, paper length (in IEEE conference proceedings format);
- Expected number of attendees (provide a justification);
- Program chair(s), and if available, tentative program and organization committees;
- Biographical sketch for each main organizer, describing relevant qualifications in research and conference/workshop organizing experience;
- Past history of the workshop, if any, including the number of submissions, number of accepted papers, and number of registered attendees for the most recent edition of the workshop and last year's website;
- Draft CFP articulating the scope and topics covered by the workshop;
- Plan for the review process and the publication of proceedings;
- New this year: a paragraph explaining how the workshop will deal with the usage of AI (either for the reviewing or submission process)
When submitting your workshop proposal, alongside the PDF, you should specify:
-
The chairs of the workshop (name, email, affiliation) as the "authors" of the submitted proposal;
-
Note: the IEEE EuroS&P’s workshop chairs reserve the right to contact the “proposed chairs” of each workshop to confirm whether they are truly intending to chair a given workshop.
-
Whether the workshop is meant to be held before or after the conference (you can mark both options if you have no preference);
-
Note: specifying only one option may reduce the likelihood of acceptance if multiple strong workshops compete for the same day.
-
Whether the workshop is supposed to be a half-day or full-day workshop (you can mark both options if you have no preference).
-
Note: “full-day” workshops must be appropriately motivated in the respective proposals.
Proposal Evaluation Criteria
In order of importance:
- Quality and completeness of proposal
- Timeliness and suitability for the EuroS&P community
- [for workshop with a history] Diversity of the program and authors
- The novelty/differences w.r.t. other workshops in the security & privacy landscape
- Interest, impact, and relevance of the topic
- Anticipated attendance level
- Organizers experience
We especially encourage submissions that address global aspects of computer security and
privacy, including issues particular to parts of the world and communities that are often
neglected.
Responsibilities
The organizers of accepted workshops have the following responsibilities.
Please note that this is not
an exhaustive list, but roughly a guideline for organizers.
- Workshop organizations according to proposal
- On-site setup and communication with the local chairs
- Verifying that "camera ready"e; match the expectations of the workshop. Workshop organizers should coordinate with the proceedings chairs AND with the authors.
