The 40th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2021) solicits proposals for its tutorial program. Tutorials will be held on the days of October 18-21, in parallel to the ER main technical program. ER is currently planned to take place in St. John's, NL, Canada, with additional options for attending virtually. Further details on the attendance options for tutorial and workshop organizers will be provided in upcoming calls, as they depend on the pandemic situation.


** Submission Requirements for Tutorial Proposals **


ER tutorials consist of a prerecorded introductory video (about 1h) and an interactive session (1h) given on-site or online, respectively.


ER tutorials introduce general or special topics in ER and relevant neighboring areas. They can be first introductions to an established area or an emerging field, but also advanced courses on specialized methods or new approaches. The content should be adequately established and balanced, and not be limited to advertising an individual research work or product. A focus on specific tools and methodologies can still be useful to offer concrete examples and hands-on activities to participants.



Each tutorial proposal should contain the following information:

- Short title, presenters and proposed length (video and interactive session)

- A half-page introduction to the tutorial's subject and relevance to ER

- A half-page on the target audience, prerequisite knowledge, and learning goals

- One page outline of the tutorial contents and intended structure

- A brief resume of each presenter including name, affiliation, email address, and evidence of scholarship in the area, mentioning relevant publications or professional experience


The main duties of the tutorial organizers are:

- Recording of an introductory video before the conference.

- Deliver the tutorial at ER 2021 on-site if allowed by the pandemic situation.


** Submission Instructions **


Each proposal (tutorial) should be in English and must be submitted electronically to the Tutorial track of ER 2021 via email:


er21tutorials at gmail.com


For all accepted proposals, ER will take care of all local and/or online arrangements.



** Important Dates **
