<div class="">We invite proposals for half-day or full-day workshops. Workshops promote informal discussion of an active research area. We particularly welcome creative new formats that increase the number of participants, that encourage participants to stay
for the full duration of the event, that enhance discussion among participants, that increase the level of interaction between established experts and early-career researchers, and that make useful connections to fields outside of robotics and between academia
and industry. </div>

<div class="">Proposal Submission Deadline: June 7, 2016 (Extended: June 21)</div>

<div class="">The primary criteria for selection are the anticipated level of interest, the potential impact, and the presenters' technical background. Upon selection of their proposal, organizers will also be required to prepare a workshop website and a one-page
abstract. We look forward to hosting your workshops at ICSR 2016. </div>
