However, the success of the Dagstuhl Seminar program also relies on permanent quality control, in particular on proposal review process.</p><p>Twice a year, Schloss Dagstuhl welcomes proposals for seminars and workshops. These proposals are evaluated by the Dagstuhl’s Scientific Directorate in a review process that is similar to the review process for papers submitted to a conference. A proposal is to convince the reviewers that the intended seminar is likely to be successful, i.e. the topics are scientifically interesting, an appropriate collection of researchers will attend the seminar, and some sort of impact of the seminar can be expected.</p><p>If accepted, the seminar will be hosted in the seclusion of Dagstuhl’s well known, own, dedicated facilities in Wadern, on the western fringe of Germany. Moreover, the Dagstuhl office will assume most of the organizational / administrative work, and the Dagstuhl scientific staff will support the organizers in preparing, running, and documenting the event. Thanks to subsidies, the costs are very low for participants.</p><p>In contrast to conference program committees, which are typically ad hoc, Dagstuhl’s Scientific Directorate is more stable, with members serving several years and accumulating experience over this time. Moreover, they and the whole process enjoy considerable permanent staff support. Still, every member of the Directorate will end up reading and evaluating a fair number of proposals over a relatively short amount of time, besides their usual professional workload. Please keep this in mind when writing your proposal.</p></div></div></div></section><section class="medium-headlines bg-light full-width section"><div class="href-destination"></div><h1 class="section-headline">Composition of a Proposal</h1><div class="container section-content"><div class="neos-contentcollection"><div class="container"><div class="row"><div class=" col-lg-9 col-sm-12"><div class="neos-contentcollection"><div class="neos-nodetypes-html-html"> <p>In the following sections, you can find information on <b>what is expected of a proposal</b> in terms of content and form.

If two of the applicants have the same affiliation, we ask for a valid scientific justification for this deviation from the above rule. Note that if the current application is a revision of a rejected application and one of the reasons given for not accepting the original application was that the team of organizers did not sufficiently cover all requirements made of an organiser team for such a seminar (even though the team already contained the maximum number of four organizers), Schloss Dagstuhl's Scientific Directorate, may, as an exception, accept the addition of a fifth organizer in that case.</li> <li>An appropriate composition of the organizing team is very important for ensuring the success of the seminar and participation of a diverse audience (particularly regarding topic, experience, gender, and geographic distribution). Please note that, in our experience, the organizing team and their standing in the research community targeted by the seminar is often a decisive factor in the invitees' decision whether to attend.</li> <li>For the organizers, there are no restrictions on their origin, place of work, or nationality. The international orientation of Schloss Dagstuhl should also be reflected in the organizing team. For instance, as a rule of thumb, at least two of the following three geographical regions should be represented: Europe, America, Asia and the rest of the world. It is advisable that submissions on topics that are strongly represented in a region should also have an organizer from that region.</li> <li>Schloss Dagstuhl strives to improve gender balance at its seminars, with the goal of encouraging diversity in the field as a whole, and particularly welcomes and encourages gender diversity in the organizing team.</li> <li>It is NOT required to have an organizer with a German affiliation.</li> <li>Applicants from industry are welcome.</li> <li>If a seminar constitutes a follow-up of a previous seminar, there must be at least one new organizer included without exceeding the maximal number of 4 organizers. The goal is to retain the dynamic nature of seminars and to attract new communities and topics.</li> <li>In case a seminar proposal is accepted, Schloss Dagstuhl expects all members of the organizer team to attend and actively participate in the moderation of this seminar, thereby ensuring its success.</li> </ul> <h6>A.2 – Seminar Title</h6> <p>Although the title should be short and concise, it should also clearly describe the thematic orientation of the seminar. Please omit phrases such as "Proposal for a Dagstuhl Seminar on" or similar. Please capitalize the title as in the following example: "The Great Unifying Theory of Informatics". Please restrict yourself to use at most 80 characters in the title.</p> <h6>A.3 – Type of the Seminar</h6> <ul> <li>Please indicate here whether you are applying for a Dagstuhl Seminar or a Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop.</li> <li>Please avoid speaking of a "workshop" in an application for a Dagstuhl Seminar and of a "seminar" in an application for a Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop.</li> </ul> <h6 id='details-part-a4'>A.4 – Size and Duration of the Seminar</h6> <p>∎ <b>Dagstuhl Seminars:</b></p> <p>Schloss Dagstuhl offers 4 seminar formats, which are determined by combining the size and duration of the seminar.</p> <p>There are two choices in terms of seminar size:</p> <ul> <li><b>Small</b> seminars with approximately 25 participants (nominally 30 participants)</li> <li><b>Large</b> seminars with approximately 40 participants (nominally 45 participants)</li> </ul> <p>While the Scientific Directorate approves the size of your seminar as either approximately 25 or approximately 40, the exact maximum number of participants that Dagstuhl ultimately determines for your seminar may vary, depending on the booking situation. </p> <p>There are two choices in terms of seminar duration:</p> <ul> <li><b>Short</b> seminars: 3 days (arrival on Sunday afternoon, start on Monday morning, departure on Wednesday afternoon)</li> <li><b>Long</b> seminars: 5 days (arrival on Sunday afternoon, start on Monday morning, departure on Friday afternoon)</li> </ul> <p>In exceptional cases a 5-day seminar may have to be shortened to 4 days (with arrival on Monday or departure on Thursday). Similarly, in some cases, arrival and departure of a 3-day seminar may have to be moved to Monday and Thursday, respectively.</p> <p>You should choose the format according to content and community. Smaller seminars are suitable for specialized topics and a high level of interaction between the participants. Short seminars are also suitable for very specialized topics or communities that are hard-pressed for time. Please note that it can be difficult to convince industry participants to attend for a whole week. 3-day seminars with 45 participants are not very common due to possible issues with group dynamics.</p> <p>In general, small seminars have shorter waiting times (9-15 months) than large ones (15-21 months).</p> <p>∎ <b>Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshops: </b></p> <p>Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshops are conducted with 25 to 30 participants over a period of three to five days. We recommend 5 days to allow sufficient time for working toward creating a manifesto. It is ideal to start writing the manifesto towards the end of the workshop.</p> <h6>A.5 – Classification</h6> <p>Please classify the application into at least one and at most three categories from the list of subject classes provided at <a class="linkIco" href="https://arxiv.org/corr/subjectclasses" title="Link zu https://arxiv.org/corr/subjectclasses" target="_blank"><img src="fileadmin/assets/images/ico_link_ext.gif" alt="" /></a><a class="linkIco" href="https://arxiv.org/corr/subjectclasses" title="Link zu https://arxiv.org/corr/subjectclasses" target="_blank">arxiv.org</a>. This is helpful for setting up the review process.</p> <h6>A.6 – Keywords</h6> <p>In addition please provide one to five freely chosen keywords or short phrases.</p> <h6>A.7 – Predecessor Seminar (if applicable)</h6> <p>If the proposal is intended as a successor to a previous seminar, please provide the seminar number associated to that seminar. Successor seminars share, in general, at least one organizer with its predecessor seminar.</p> <h6>A.8 – Resubmission (if applicable)</h6> <p>If your proposal is based on an unsuccessful previous proposal, please provide the proposal number of that proposal.</p> <h6>A.9 – Abstract</h6> <ul> <li>Please provide a short (up to 250 words) abstract of the proposed seminar. The abstract needs to be written in a way that is clear, easy-to-read, and understandable also for people in the informatics community who are working outside the intended research topic of the seminar. Again, this is helpful for setting up the review process.</li> <li>Please give your consent that if your application is accepted, this text may be published under the <a class="linkIco" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" title="Link zu https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank"><img src="fileadmin/assets/images/ico_link_ext.gif" alt="" /></a><a class="linkIco" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" title="Link zu https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">CC BY license</a>.</li> <li>For this, please also provide the authors of the abstract.

Organizers are, therefore, advised to demonstrate them in the proposal text.</li> <li>Seminars are limited to topics that substantially involve computer science research. There are no further restrictions.</li> <li>Interdisciplinary topics, be it in computer science and its peripheral areas or with completely different topics (biology, chemistry, medicine, physics, psychology, law, history, etc.) as well as topics with industrial or industry-related applications are especially welcome.</li> <li>Dagstuhl is a place where you can try something unusual, e.g: <span style="font-size:smaller"><a href="/19052" title="Link zu www.dagstuhl.de/19052" target="_blank">Computational Methods for Melody and Voice Processing in Music Recordings</a>, <a href="/17261" title="Link zu www.dagstuhl.de/17261" target="_blank">Voting: Beyond Simple Majorities and Single-Winner Elections</a>, <a href="/16222" title="Link zu www.dagstuhl.de/16222" target="_blank">Engineering Moral Agents - from Human Morality to Artificial Morality</a>, <a href="/15042" title="Link zu www.dagstuhl.de/15042" target="_blank">Coalgebraic Semantics of Reflexive Economics</a>, <a href="/14302" title="Link zu www.dagstuhl.de/14302" target="_blank">Digital Palaeography: New Machines and Old Texts</a></span>.</li> </ul> <h6>B.3 – Topics to Be Discussed in the Seminar</h6> <p>Please briefly discuss the range of topics to be covered and worked on during the seminar. In general, reviewers expect that these subjects would also be reflected in the invitee list through the inclusion of researchers specialized on those topics. </p> <h6>B.4 – Composition of the Organizing Team</h6> <p>Please explain why this organizing team is particularly suitable for the proposed seminar. </p> <h6>B.5 – Outcomes</h6> <p>Reviewers often wonder what the outcome of a proposed seminar would be. It is in the nature of seminars that it is difficult to predict the outcome. However, it does help to know what you envisage as the possible outcomes. Keep in mind that in planning those outcomes, substantial involvement of the invitees beyond the seminar may be unrealistic.</p> <h6>B.6 – Seminar Structure</h6> <p>A convincing plan for the structure of the seminar should be provided. We do not expect a detailed hourly plan. But information like whether there would be talks, discussion and breakout sessions, demos, plenary session, etc. would help reviewers judge whether the composition of the planned seminar is likely to be successful.</p> <p>Particularly for short seminars (3 days), it would be of the essence that the seminar is prepared and organized in a very disciplined manner in order to achieve a tangible outcome. </p> <h6>B.7 – Relation to Other Seminars</h6> <p>If your seminar is related to a previous or upcoming Dagstuhl Seminar or Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop, please briefly discuss this relation delineating your proposal from the others. In the case of a seminar series (with two or more predecessor seminars), adequate evidence documenting the success of the previous seminars and justifying the need for this follow-up must be provided. Please note that for follow-up seminars requirements may apply with regards to the team of organizers.</p> <h6>B.8 – Related Conferences / Projects</h6> <p>Please briefly discuss the relation of the proposed seminar to related conferences outside Dagstuhl and/or projects. Please bear in mind that our seminars are not meant for a project meeting; and therefore, as a rule, no more than half of the organizers and a third of the invitees may be affiliated with <b>any</b> of the involved projects.</p> <h6>B.9 – Manifesto (Only Applicable for Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshops)</h6> <p>An important result of a Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop is a <i>Dagstuhl Manifesto</i>. It is vital to the success of your submission, that a concept for a Dagstuhl Manifesto and/or a plan of how it would be created is included in the proposal text. The intended audience of a manifesto is not so much the inner circle of experts but people who are generally interested in computer science issues, in particular also policy makers. Such a manifesto should put research issues into a larger context, like their relevance for society and economy, their applications, and their import for other fields.</p> <p>Dagstuhl's Scientific Directorate acts as the editorial board for Dagstuhl Manifestos. Once a manifesto is accepted, it will be published in the series <a href="/publishing/series/details/DagMan"><i>Dagstuhl Manifestos</i></a>. Furthermore, manifestos could be passed to national and European funding agencies. Beyond that, summaries of selected manifestos can be published in the <a class="linkIco" href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00287-016-0998-x" title="Link zu https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00287-016-0998-x" target="_blank"><img src="fileadmin/assets/images/ico_link_ext.gif" alt="" /></a><a class="linkIco" href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00287-016-0998-x" title="Link zu https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00287-016-0998-x" target="_blank">Dagstuhl Manifestos</a> column of the <a class="linkIco" href="http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/287" title="Link zu http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/287" target="_blank"><img src="fileadmin/assets/images/ico_link_ext.gif" alt="" /></a><a class="linkIco" href="http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/287" title="Link zu http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/287" target="_blank">Informatik-Spektrum</a> (Springer) journal or possibly also as short contribution to the <a class="linkIco" href="https://cacm.acm.org" title="Link zu https://cacm.acm.org" target="_blank"><img src="fileadmin/assets/images/ico_link_ext.gif" alt="" /></a><a class="linkIco" href="https://cacm.acm.org" title="Link zu https://cacm.acm.org" target="_blank">Communications of the ACM</a>. </p> <p>Quite likely, organizers of a Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop will be asked to present the results of their workshop at a Dagstuhl’s Scientific Advisory Board meeting.</p> </div> </div> <p>The proposal text is to be submitted as one PDF document, in A4 format and without dynamic elements. Other than that, there is no limitation regarding the format. Our applications are typically 5 pages long. Shorter applications are not necessarily worse, and longer ones are not necessarily better.

The initial overbooking is due to the observation that, on average, about 50% of the invited guests accept the invitation. Organizers may additionally provide an optional second round of invitations:</p> <ul> <li>up to 20 people to invite for small seminars</li> <li>up to 30 people to invite for large seminars</li> </ul> <p>Please note the following criteria when compiling the invitation list:</p> <ul> <li>International and institutional balance and diversity; in general, no more than 3 scientists from the same place or research group should participate in the same seminar.</li> <li>Balance between experts on the different facets of the proposal</li> <li>Consideration of all groups working in a subject area</li> <li>A balance between theory and practice and inviting industry representatives (if appropriate for the topic)</li> <li>For <i>Dagstuhl Seminars</i>, a mixture of proven experts (approx. 75%) and talented junior researchers (approx. 25%) is preferred.
