Submissions

We welcome proposals for workshops related to NIME research, topics relevant for the NIME community, NIME performance and this year’s theme. NIME workshops can take the form of community development or co-design events, focused tutorials on specific NIME topics, sub-conferences on specific topics including presentations by NIME attendees, or other types of events that you propose. Workshops can be proposed to be short (up to three hours) or long (up to six hours).

Workshop proposals should use the paper submission template, should not be anonymised, and should have the following sections:

  1. Motivation: Describe the rationale for the workshop, issues that will be addressed, and clear objectives with reference to NIME topics, themes, and previous publications.
  2. Workshop Structure: Describe the planned activities or events taking place in the workshop.
  3. Organisers: Include Workshop organiser(s) with short bio(s) up to 200 words including background relating to proposed topic, and affiliation and contact information. Include additional speakers name(s), affiliation(s), and contact information.

Important Notes for Workshop Submissions:

  • At least one author of accepted workshops must purchase conference registration by the publication-ready deadline to be included in the conference.


Workshop Review Process:

All workshop submissions will be subjected to a single-blind peer review process by an international committee of experts. Proposals will be evaluated in terms of relevance, potential significance to attendees, and feasibility. Proposers should also familiarise themselves with the NIME statements on diversity and environmental issues. The review process is as follows:

  • Each proposal will be assigned to at least 3 reviewers for independent evaluation.
  • The workshop chairs will make the final decision on workshop acceptance and will inform the author(s) of their decision along with the reviewers’ comments.
