Semantic Web Conference

The Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) is seeking statements of interest from organizations or consortia interested in hosting the 16th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC 2017. The conference series usually moves regularly between the Americas, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific region. For the 2017 edition, we will accept bids from all locations, but we will give preference to the bids from Europe. We expect the conference to take place in late October or early November 2017.

The process consists of two stages. During the first stage, SWSA solicits the statements of interest through an open call. They should be submitted using the statement of interest form.

Once the first phase is complete, SWSA will shortlist a number of applications, who will be invited to submit a full proposal, using a standard form and budget template. The shortlisted applications will be expected to make a presentation at the SWSA meeting in Bethlehem, PA, US, during ISWC 2015. SWSA will make the decision on the location of ISWC 2017 at that meeting.

More information about the ISWC Conference Series and the bidding process for hosting a conference in the series can be found in the ISWC Conference Guide.
