EWAF’s goal is to foster the dialogue between researchers working on algorithmic fairness in the context of Europe’s legal and societal framework, especially in light of the EU’s attempts to promote ethical AI. It is thus a space for researchers to discuss fairness in machine learning with an interdisciplinary perspective related to Europe.

For this reason, we are opening a Call for Posters that discuss ongoing work on EWAF’s areas of interest, namely:

• Computer Science: fairness metrics, methods for qualitative evaluations, bias mitigation techniques, auditing frameworks, fairness-aware data collection

• Philosophy: values embedded in distributive and procedural fairness, foundations of ethical AI, critical studies on AI

• Social Sciences AI impact assessments, historical perspectives on discrimination, impact of algorithms on marginalized groups, perceptions of (un)fairness, AI and labor, digital governance, management and fairness, AI for public value creation

• Policy and Law: non-discrimination law, data protection law and data governance, impact assessments, accountability measures, sensitive application areas of AI (e.g., the judiciary, government, law enforcement, public services), global regulatory developments)

• We also explicitly welcome submissions of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work, sourcing from multiple disciplinary areas and/or highlighting joint insight-building with relevant non-academic stakeholders.

A full discussion of EWAF’25 themes may be found in the Call for Papers.

Submission Format

We invite a wide range of contributions, including but not limited to ongoing/early-stage work, work under review elsewhere, already published work, case studies from industry, and open challenges in research or practice.

Please prepare the following for your submission:

• Poster: posters should be submitted as a PDF file. 

• Short abstract: we ask for a short abstract of the work, which will be useful for reviewers to evaluate the relevance of your poster w.r.t. the workshop themes.

We recommend printing your poster in A0 vertical.

Evaluation Criteria

Posters will be evaluated based primarily on their relevance to the workshop. Additionally, quality and clarity, originality, potential for impact, and the need for a diverse and balanced program play a role.
