ECIR 2027 First Call for Papers


The European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR) is the prime 
European forum for the presentation of original research in the field of 
Information Retrieval (ECIR 2027, www.ecir2027.co.uk 
<http://www.ecir2027.co.uk>) and will take place as a physical 
(in-person) conference from 21-25 March 2027 at Southampton Football 
Club, Southampton, England, UK.

ECIR 2027 is actively seeking top-tier and unique submissions 
encompassing theory, experimentation, and practical insights related to 
the retrieval, representation, management, and utilization of textual, 
visual, and multi-modal information. ECIR strongly encourages the 
submission of papers that focus on users, systems, applications, and 
evaluation. Some of the pertinent subjects include, but are not 
restricted to:


  *

    User-related aspects, which encompass facets like information
    interaction, contextualization, personalization, simulation,
    characterization, and information behaviours.

  *

    System-related facets, covering retrieval and recommendation
    algorithms, machine learning, deep learning, content representation,
    natural language processing, system architectures, efficiency
    techniques, and scalability.

  *

    Applications in areas such as search and recommender systems, web
    and social media applications, domain-specific search (e.g.,
    professional, biomedical, chemistry), innovative interfaces,
    intelligent search agents/bots, and related groundbreaking search tools.

  *

    Research related to evaluation, encompassing novel metrics and
    innovative approaches for assessing users, systems, and/or applications.

  *

    Emerging trends in information retrieval, such as 'IR enhanced
    machine learning' and 'Green IR.'

  *

    Information retrieval topics that are well-aligned with existing and
    past tracks of the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC).


ECIR 2027 welcomes contributions that advance our understanding and 
application of information retrieval across these diverse dimensions in 
the following formats:


Full Paper Track: The Full Paper Track offers an avenue for researchers 
to present their cutting-edge research in Information Retrieval that 
either has already made a significant impact or possesses the potential 
to do so. Submissions for full papers should comprise 12 pages of 
content in addition to pages for references. More information: 
https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-full-papers 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-full-papers>


Short Paper Track: The Short Paper Track invites original contributions 
that introduce fresh and thought-provoking concepts, addressing 
innovative application areas within the Information Retrieval field. 
While the inclusion of promising preliminary results is encouraged, it 
is not mandatory. Papers that stimulate discussion and foster engagement 
are particularly encouraged. Short paper submissions should extend to 6 
pages, with additional pages allocated for references. More information: 
https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-short-papers 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-short-papers>


Tutorials: ECIR 2027 is seeking proposals for half-day (3 hours plus 
breaks) tutorials covering topics relevant to the field of IR and its 
applications. Each tutorial should cover a single topic in depth. For 
example, tutorials may cover an established IR sub-topic, introduce an 
emerging topic in IR and its application, or update the IR community on 
recent advances in other relevant fields, such as natural language 
processing, recommendation systems, artificial intelligence, or machine 
learning. Tutorials are encouraged to be as interactive and hands-on as 
possible (e.g., having exercises the participants can complete during or 
after the tutorial). More information: 
https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-tutorials 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-tutorials>


Workshops: ECIR 2027 workshops provide a platform for presenting novel 
ideas and research results in emerging areas in IR in a focused and 
interactive way. Workshops can be either a half-day (3.5 hours plus 
breaks) or a full day (7 hours plus breaks). The organizers of approved 
workshops are expected to set up a webpage for the workshop, disseminate 
the call for papers and the call for participation, gather and review 
submissions, and prepare the final program. A camera-ready summary of 
the workshop, written by the organizers, will be included in the ECIR 
conference proceedings. More information: 
https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-workshops 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-workshops>


IR for Good: The IR-for-Good track at ECIR is dedicated to gathering 
impactful, high-quality, and societally-motivated IR research, fostering 
a common platform for engagement among researchers, practitioners, and 
civil society from various backgrounds and sectors. The focus of this 
track is to facilitate conversations within the IR community and in 
conjunction with other disciplines on how IR research and practices can 
contribute towards realizing more equitable, emancipatory, and 
sustainable futures. Submissions of papers must be at least 6 pages (the 
sixth page should have at least some content but not necessary to fill 
it) and at most 12 pages in length plus additional pages for references. 
More information: https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-ir-for-good-papers 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-ir-for-good-papers>


Industry Day: The ECIR 2027 Industry Day will highlight the growing role 
of IR in agentic AI systems-intelligent agents that plan, act, and 
retrieve. As such agents increasingly rely on IR for grounding, memory, 
and tool use, we invite work on the design, integration, and evaluation 
of IR components that enable agents to perform real-world tasks reliably 
and safely at scale. Proposals are limited to 4 pages, excluding 
references. More information: 
https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-industry-day-presentations 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-industry-day-presentations>


Reproducibility Track: Reproducibility is key for establishing research 
to be reliable, referenceable, and extensible for the future. Emphasise 
your motivation for selecting the paper/papers, the process of how 
results have been attempted to be reproduced (successful or not), the 
communication that was necessary to gather all information, the 
potential difficulties encountered, and the result of the process. A 
successful reproduction of the work is not required, but it is crucial 
to provide a precise, rigorous evaluation of the process to allow 
lessons to be learned for the future. Submissions in this track should 
be 12 pages in length, with additional pages allocated for references. 
More information: 
https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-reproducibility-papers 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-reproducibility-papers>


Resource Track:To highlight and encourage the creation and sharing of 
different types of resources, ECIR 2027 features a dedicated Resource 
Track. This track welcomes papers that introduce novel resources, 
improve the quality or usability of existing resources, or provide tools 
that facilitate experimentation, benchmarking, and reproducibility in 
Information Retrieval, Information Access, Recommendation Systems and 
related areas. Submissions in this track should be 12 pages in length, 
with additional pages allocated for references. More information: 
https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-resource-papers 
<https://www.ecir2027.co.uk/call-for-resource-papers>


Demonstration Track: The Demo Track provides the opportunity for 
researchers to present their research prototypes and operational systems 
which they wish to share with the community, obtain feedback from 
experts, and exchange knowledge on implementing and developing such 
systems. Demo papers are up to 4 pages in length plus additional pages 
for references. More information:

vel ideas and research results in emerging areas in IR in a focused and i=
nteractive way. Workshops can be either a half-day (3.5 hours plus breaks=
) or a full day (7 hours plus breaks). The organizers of approved worksho=
ps are expected to set up a webpage for the workshop, disseminate the cal=
l for papers and the call for participation, gather and review submission=
s, and prepare the final program. A camera-ready summary of the workshop,=
 written by the organizers, will be included in the ECIR conference proce=
edings. More information: </span><a

tool use, we invite work on the design, integration, and evaluation of IR=
 components that enable agents to perform real-world tasks reliably and s=
afely at scale. Proposals are limited to 4 pages, excluding references. M=

t was necessary to gather all information, the potential difficulties enc=
ountered, and the result of the process. A successful reproduction of the=
 work is not required, but it is crucial to provide a precise, rigorous e=
valuation of the process to allow lessons to be learned for the future. S=
