--------
The European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR) is the prime
European forum for the presentation of original research in the field of
Information Retrieval. The 48th European Conference on Information
Retrieval (ECIR 2026, https://ecir2026.eu/) will take place as a physical
(in-person) conference from 29 March to 2 April 2026 in Delft, The
Netherlands.
Topics of Interest
ECIR 2026 invites the submission of high-quality and original papers in the
broad field of Information Retrieval. Relevant topics include, but are not
limited to:
-
Search and ranking, including retrieval models and ranking, query and
content analysis, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and theoretical
aspects of Information Retrieval;
-
Recommender systems, including recommendation algorithms, and advanced
recommender systems, covering rich content representations, content
analysis, and diverse recommendation techniques such as content-based and
collaborative filtering, cross-domain and context-aware methods, and
multi-stakeholder approaches;
-
User aspects in IR, including information interaction, human-AI
collaboration, contextualisation, personalisation, simulation,
characterisation, and behaviours;
-
System aspects, including retrieval and recommendation architectures,
efficiency and scalability;
-
Conversational search and recommender systems, focusing on natural
language understanding and generation, dialogue management, multimodal
interaction, and user engagement in search processes;
-
Explainability methods, addressing the transparency, interpretability,
and accountability of AI-driven systems, particularly for information
retrieval, recommendation, and personalisation;
-
Machine Learning and Large Language Models for information retrieval and
recommendation, IR in agentic workflows;
-
Applications, such as web search, web and social media apps,
professional and domain-specific search, novel interfaces to search tools,
intelligent search, multimodal search and conversational agents;
-
Evaluation research, including new metrics, benchmarks and novel methods
for the measurement and evaluation of retrieval and/or recommendation
systems, users, and/or applications;
-
Societally-motivated IR research, including on algorithmic bias and
fairness, misinformation, hate speech, interpretability and explainability,
privacy-aware IR, trustworthy IR, and ethics; Please note: This year,
we are revamping the dedicated IR-for-Good track to be a core conference
track that will run alongside the main conference (not on workshop day). We
want this special track to be a platform that highlights top
societally-motivated IR research at ECIR. We strongly encourage authors
to submit societally-motivated papers to this special track. The call for
papers for that track will be released in August.
Full Paper Track
The Full Paper Track provides the opportunity for researchers to present
their state-of-the-art research in Information Retrieval, which makes, or
has the potential to make, a significant contribution to the field.
-
Full papers are up to 12 pages in length plus unlimited additional pages
for references. Appendices count toward the page limit. Please put
appendices before the references for paper submission. Papers over the
page limit will be desk rejected.
-
Full papers will be refereed through double-blind peer review, with an
initial first-stage review followed by a second stage of discussion led by
a meta-reviewer.
-
Some high-quality submissions not accepted as main papers may be invited
to be published as findings papers.
Submission Guidelines
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word (to be found at
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…
<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>),
for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include
their ORCIDs in their papers (
https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/orcid).
All submissions must be written in English. All papers should be submitted
electronically through the EasyChair submission system. The EasyChair URL
for submissions is as follows:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecir2026
Authors have to first submit the abstract of their paper by *September 25,
2025, 11:59pm (AoE)*. The title and abstract have to be representative of
the paper content as they will be used during the bidding process by
reviewers. The paper submission deadline is on *October 2, 2025*, 11:59pm
(AoE).
In addition, the corresponding author of each accepted paper, acting on
behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright
form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the
paper has been submitted, changes relating to its authorship cannot be made.
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in the
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be
distributed to all delegates at the conference. Accepted papers will have
to be presented at the conference by one of the authors in person – and at
least one author for each accepted contribution will be required to
register and attend.
Dual Submission Policy
Papers submitted to ECIR 2026 should be substantially different from papers
that have been previously published, or accepted for publication, or that
are under review at other venues. Exceptions to this rule are:
-
Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented at
conferences or workshops without proceedings.
-
Submission is permitted for papers that have previously been made
available as a technical report (e.g., in institutional archives or
preprint archives like arXiv). Please do not cite your technical report and
make effort to avoid any issues that may harm the double-blindness of your
submission. Reviewers will receive guidance that asks them to refrain from
trying to break blindness, but be aware that the availability of an
available technical report for an ECIR submission might cause some
issues.
Ethics and Professional Conduct
ECIR 2026 expects authors (as well as the PC, and the organising committee)
to adhere to accepted standards on ethics and professionalism in our
community, namely:
-
The ACM’s Policy on Authorship
<https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/new-acm-policy-on-authorship>,
-
The ACM’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
<https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics>,

Information Integration in Social Science Research: Advances with LLMs
in the NAIP Project
Abstract—NAIP is a collaborative project between social scientists and
computer scientists to facilitate and promote data-driven research on
nonprofit organizations. A major thrust of NAIP is the treatment of
socioeconomic datasets such as IRS from 990 and census data for
statistical analysis on nonprofits. This paper describes recent advances
and experiences using Large Language Models (LLMs) to facilitate data
cleaning, modeling, and automated SQL query generation on NAIP datasets.
With non-trivial prompt engineering, LLMs become capable of generating
useful SQL queries, but significant efforts are still needed for
evaluation and validation.

---------- CALL FOR PAPERS -----------
The 8th International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing
(IEEE Technically Co-sponsored)
(In conjunction with Persuasive Technology 2026)
Mar. 9 - 12 , 2026, Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan (Hybrid)
https://abc-research.github.io/
(Please send an empty email to abc2026(a)autocare.ai<mailto:abc2026@autocare.ai> to get updates!)
Human Activity Recognition has been researched in thousands of papers so far, with mobile / environmental sensors in ubiquitous / pervasive domains, and with cameras in vision domains. As well, Human Behavior Analysis is also explored for long-term health care, rehabilitation, emotion recognition, human interaction, and so on. However, many research challenges remain for realistic settings, such as complex and ambiguous activities / behavior, optimal sensor combinations, (deep) machine learning, data collection, platform systems, and killer applications.
In this conference, we comprehend such research domains as ABC: Activity and Behavior Computing, and provide an open and a confluent place for discussing various aspects and the future of the ABC.
CALL FOR PAPERS
