ESWC 2026 - Call for Participation

The European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) is a major venue for academic
research and developments in the area of the Semantic Web and Knowledge
Graphs. The 23rd edition will take place from May 10 to 14, 2026, in
Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The scientific programme of ESWC 2026 includes:

* Three main scientific tracks (Research, Resources, and In-Use)
* A poster and demo session
* A PhD symposium
* An Industry track
* 13 workshops and 7 tutorials
See https://2026.eswc-conferences.org/program/program-overview/


Keynote speakers

ESWC 2026 is delighted to host the following lineup of keynote speakers (
https://2026.eswc-conferences.org/program/keynote-speakers/):

* Prof. Maria-Esther Vidal (Leibniz University Hannover & TIB): leading
research in semantic data management and neuro-symbolic AI for explainable,
knowledge-driven discovery
* Prof. Isabelle Augenstein (University of Copenhagen): pioneering work on
fair and explainable NLP
* Atanas Kiryakov (Graphwise): expert in semantic databases and knowledge
graphs, and a driving force behind GraphDB

        Subject: CfP: RAGE-KG Workshop at ISWC 2026

Dear subscribers of Humanist,

We are happy to share the Call for Papers for the 3rd Retrieval-Augmented
Generation Enabled by Knowledge Graphs (RAGE-KG) workshop, which will be
co-hosted with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2026 in
Bari, Italy, October 25-29, 2026. We share all the details below.

On behalf of the Organising Committee,

RAGE-KG 2026: Retrieval-Augmented Generation Enabled by Knowledge Graphs -
International Semantic Web Conference, Bari, Italy, October 25-29, 2026

-Conference website: https://2026.rage-kg.org/

-Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ragekg2026

-Abstract registration deadline: July 17, 2026

-Submission deadline: July 24, 2026

RAGE-KG explores the state of the art and goes beyond in integrating
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Knowledge Graphs as well as the
synergies between Large Language Models and the Linked Open Data ecosystem.
We aim to foster innovative RAG architectures relying on Semantic Web
standards and new approaches to make Linked Open Data usable by LLMs,
enhancing their ability to generate reliable, verifiable and context-aware
responses based on structured, decentralised, and authoritative data
sources.
Submission Guidelines

-Short papers describing novel research contributions and preliminary
   results. Related to workshop topics. 4-6 pages excluding references.
-Full papers describing novel research contributions of extended length.
   Related to workshop topics. 8-12 pages excluding references.

The papers will be peer-reviewed (single-blind) by multiple researchers.

Upon acceptance, one author must register at the conference and present at
the workshop.
List of Topics
RAG Architectures

-RAG and KAG (Knowledge-Augmented Generation) architectures leveraging
   Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web standards and Linked Data
-RAG and KAG design patterns, including GraphRAG and AI Agents
-Evaluating RAG and KAG architectures with structured data

LLMs and Structured Data

-Training and fine-tuning LLMs with structured data
-Prompting Language Models with structured data
-Language Model-supported and ontology-supported SPARQL query generation


Innovative Approaches

-Neurosymbolic approaches for integrating Language Models with Linked
   Open Data, Semantic Web and Knowledge Graphs
-Use Cases, Work-In-Progress and, especially, Bold Proposals for RAG
   systems

Special track on RAG-systems for Human-AI Value Alignment

-RAG-based approaches for content moderation and harm reduction;
-Designing RAG systems to deal with human subjectivity
