As with previous ETHICOMP conferences, only papers written in English and not published or submitted elsewhere will be accepted based on an extended abstract after careful and anonymous review overseen by the Program Committee. Authors may submit more than one abstract, but acceptance of multiple proposals from a single author or co-author will be weighted against available space to ensure that we can include as many authors as possible for ETHICOMP 2025. At least one of the authors must register and attend the conference, presenting their work. Authors may be invited to present their work at the conference as a regular presentation (each talk 15min presentation + 15min questions and discussion) or as part of a panel (90min session with up to 6 papers, 5-10min presentation + questions and open panel discussion).
