CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Posters provide an interactive forum in which authors can present their work to conference attendees during special poster sessions. Posters are an opportunity to describe early-stage research outcomes and late-breaking work that provide provocations for novel ideas. The presentation of a poster has been key for engaging inspiring as well as provocative discussions at CSCW.

Submissions can include, but are not limited to: late-breaking and preliminary results, methodologically sound but early-stage results, contributions by collaborative (inter-)national research projects, innovative and exploratory ideas with or without supporting evaluation or user studies, early student research, and other research best presented in an interactive forum. We invite contributions across a variety of human-centered research techniques, methods, approaches, and domains, including:

• Social and crowd computing. Studies, theories, designs, mechanisms, systems, and/or infrastructures addressing social media, social networking, wikis, blogs, online gaming, crowdsourcing, collective intelligence, virtual worlds, or collaborative information behaviors.
• CSCW and social computing system development. Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that are explored and discussed within the context of building new social and collaborative systems and experiences.
• Methodologies and tools. Novel human-centered methods, or combinations of approaches and tools used in building collaborative systems or studying their use.
• Critical, historical,and ethnographic analyses. Studies of technologically enabled social, cooperative, and collaborative practices within and beyond work settings illuminating their historical, social, and/or material specificity, and/or exploring their political or ethical dimensions.
• Empirical investigations. Findings, guidelines, and/or studies of social practices, communication, cooperation, collaboration, or use, as related to CSCW and social technologies.
• Domain-specific social, cooperative, and collaborative applications. Including applications to healthcare, transportation, design, manufacturing, gaming, ICT4D, sustainability, education, accessibility, global collaboration, or other domains.
• Ethics and policy implications. Analysis of the implications of sociotechnical systems in social, cooperative and collaborative practices, as well as the algorithms that shape them.
• CSCW and social computing systems based on emerging technologies. Including mobile and ubiquitous computing, game engines, virtual worlds, multi-touch, novel display technologies, vision and gesture recognition, big data, MOOCs, crowd labor markets, SNSs, computer-aided or robotically-supported work, and sensing systems.
• Crossing boundaries. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across fields of research, disciplines, distances, languages, generations, and cultures to help better understand how CSCW and social systems might help transcend social, temporal, and/or spatial boundaries.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Poster submissions should be between 4-6 pages in the ACM single column format, including all figures but excluding references. We will use the ACM TAPS workflow and encourage authors to review the instructions carefully for single column formatting for:

• Word
• Latex
• Overleaf   

To complete submissions, please use the Precision Conference System (PCS 2.0): https://new.precisionconference.com. Poster abstract submissions must be uploaded online at the Precision Conference System (select “CSCW 2025 Posters” from the “Track” drop down menu) to be considered. Accepted Poster submissions will be published in ACM Digital Library and distributed to conference attendees as part of the Conference Companion. 

The submission should include author names (not anonymous submission). Authors are asked to review the ACM’s guidelines for accessibility to ensure that submissions are aligned with the requirements for accessible submissions. For any questions regarding accessibility, please contact CSCW accessibility co-chairs at accessibility2025@cscw.acm.org. 

REVIEW PROCESS

Posters receive three reviews and one Meta review from the CSCW 2025 Posters Committee, which will be recruited by the Posters Chairs. We encourage authors to state the contribution and originality of your work clearly and explicitly: What is the problem? How does your approach help? Why is it better than other available approaches? Focus on the contribution of your work rather than just the background, including enough background to make clear how your work differs from significant prior research. 

For examples of previous CSCW posters see: 

• 2023 submissions
• 2024 submissions 

POST-ACCEPTANCE

Authors of accepted posters are required to submit their final camera-ready by July 9, 2025 for inclusion in the ACM Digital Library and are required to follow ACM TAPS formatting.

As the poster session of the CSCW 2025 is fully in-person, at least one author for each accepted poster must attend and present their work. There will be no online presentation option. Poster authors will need to bring a physical poster that can be displayed during the poster session at the conference. The space allocated for each poster is 48 inches by 48 inches (121 x 121 cm). Posters are recommended to be no longer or wider than 45 inches (114 cm) in either dimension; however, up to 47 inches (119 cm) is allowable. Smaller posters are acceptable. For example, either A0 (vertical format) or A1 is an acceptable size for the poster.

Posters should be affixed to the poster boards with push pins, not tape. The conference will provide push pins. Each board will have a label indicating where your poster should be placed; please allow time to find your board and set up your poster. Authors will have the opportunity to present their research during the main conference through the poster madness session where authors will give a brief pitch of their work to gain additional visibility and encourage conversation and feedback before the poster session. Further details about the format for the poster madness session will be shared with authors of accepted submissions.
