*** IMPORTANT DATES ***

*	Workshop/tutorial proposal submission date: February 28, 2025

Workshops provide a forum for community members to discuss common interests
of the IVA community in a focused way. Your workshop could, for example, (a)
address a pre-defined set of focus questions, (b) present alternative views
on particular issues and attempts to resolve them, (c) identify priorities
for new research directions, and/or (d) initiate appropriate collaborations.

 

Tutorials are intended to provide a high-quality learning experience to
participants with a varied range of backgrounds. It is expected that
tutorials are self-contained and structured to: (a) introduce foundational
concepts or techniques relevant to the IVA community, (b) explore emerging
tools, methods, or frameworks, (c) offer hands-on experiences or
demonstrations, and/or (d) provide insights into practical applications.

 

Organisers of accepted workshops or tutorials are expected to:

*	Plan, announce, and coordinate the workshop or tutorial
*	Set up and maintain a website, linked to the official IVA website,
with information about the workshop or tutorial, materials, and a summary of
the outcomes
*	Create and distribute their call for papers or participation
*	Collect and review submissions and decide on the final programme 
*	Ensure that participants are informed of the need to register for
the workshop or tutorial
*	Register for IVA 2025 early (at least one of the organisers)

following structure:

*	Workshop or tutorial title
