The 11th (PhD) Symposium on Future Directions in Information Access (FDIA, https://2023.essir.eu/FDIA/) will be held in conjunction with the 14th European Summer School on Information Retrieval (ESSIR 2023, https://2023.essir.eu/FDIA/). The symposium aims to provide a forum for participants of the summer school to share their research and interact with senior researchers in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

The BCS-IRSG FDIA Symposium is mainly, but not exclusively, turned to PhD students, researchers new to the field, and postdoctoral researchers. The objectives are:
    • To provide an accessible forum for new researchers to discuss their research and projects. 
    • To help foster formative and tentative research ideas.
    • To encourage discussion and successful progression.
    • To share outcomes of doctoral work.


Call for Papers
We cordially invite Master and PhD students as well as early-stage researchers to submit a paper on their research topic to the symposium. We invite submissions on formative access ideas which present a summary of early-stage researchers’ work, such as initial empirical findings/pilot studies; explore conceptual and/or theoretical models; and/or describe current challenges and opportunities. In particular, submissions focusing on new directions and emerging work in information access and retrieval that potentially create discussion and provoke reaction were strongly encouraged. The submissions will be peer-reviewed by the FDIA Programme Committee members. Accepted submissions will be presented at the symposium, either as a talk or a poster. We plan to publish accepted submissions at CEUR-WS.org or with TU Vienna Press depending on the number of accepted papers. Areas of research include, but are not limited to:

    • Information Retrieval Theory
    • Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval Interactive IR
    • Ethics and Bias in Information Retrieval and Search & Recommendation
    • Collaborative Information Seeking and Searching
    • Learning to Rank
    • Neural IR and Dense Retrieval
    • Large Language Models and IR
    • Multimedia and Multimodal IR
    • Recommender Systems
    • Databases + IR
    • Semantic Search
    • Social Search
    • Web IR
    • Clustering and Categorization
    • Enterprise Search
    • Conversational Agents, knowledge graphs
    • IR Applications (e.g. Digital Humanities, News IR, IR and Bibliometrics)

Papers should be 4-8 pages in length excluding references for presentation or poster (e.g., an outline of the PhD or Master’s project, a discussion of topics and ideas). Submissions should be converted to PDF and submitted via Easychair. Please use the one-column CEUR style.
