Each proposal should include the following elements:

• Title.
• Chair(s): Include the name, affiliation, email address, homepage, and a short biography (1 paragraph) for each chair, highlighting their expertise and relevance to the workshop.
• Abstract: Provide a concise summary outlining the purpose and objectives of the workshop (max. 200 words).
• Topics: List the key topics of interest to be covered (max. 1/2 page).
• Motivation: Explain why the topic is timely and particularly relevant to AIME participants (1-3 paragraphs).
• Previous Workshops: if this is part of a series, describe its development over the past 3-5 years, including quantitative details on submissions and attendance.
• Format: Provide either a tabular schedule or a 1-paragraph summary detailing the intended mix of events, such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demos, or general discussions. In case of a workshop, also report what kind of submission you require from active participants.
• Intended Length: Indicate whether the workshop will be half-day or full-day.
• Audience: Specify the target audience and estimate the number of attendees.
• Program Committee: Include the names and affiliations of potential Program Committee members.
• Paper Solicitation and Selection: Explain how you will attract sufficient numbers of submissions and participants. Describe the paper evaluation and selection process, including conflict of interest management.
• Requirements: List any audio-visual, technical, or special room requirements (e.g., computer lab).

Note: we strongly recommend appointing multiple chairs, ideally from different institutions, to provide diverse perspectives on the event’s topics. We will prioritize workshops with a varied program that encourages a broad range of contributions. In a departure from previous years, we will reduce the number of workshops to provide more focus and increase attendance at the individual workshops. To that end, you may also be requested to merge your workshop with another one.
