Call for contributions.

DBWRS2023 invites two types of contributions: 

Published works

We welcome authors of published works on the topics of interest to submit their work to be included in the DBWRS2023 program as Lightning Talk or Poster. The work should have been published in 2022 or later. Upon acceptance of your submission, you will be informed about the presentation format. 


Work in progress

We particularly encourage junior researchers to submit an extended abstract of their work in progress to DBWRS. These abstracts may be presented during the breakout sessions.


We aim to present a diverse program that includes contributions from a wide variety of disciplines, and therefore welcome submissions from academic fields such as computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, psychology, media and communication studies, legal sciences, and beyond. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Please note, there will be no official DBWRS proceedings. Given the local character of DBWRS and the goal of strengthening connections between the Dutch and Belgian research community on recommender systems, submissions are limited to (at least one) author(s) with a Dutch/Belgian connection
