DBWRS is back! After a first successful edition of DBWRS, we look forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam on April 8 and 9, 2027.

Topic: Everything Recommenders!

We want a program that covers every aspect of recommender systems research and practice., For this, we are looking for contributions from everyone working on recommender systems in the Netherlands and Belgium, whether you’re in computer science, data science, AI, psychology, communication science, law, or somewhere else entirely. The more perspectives, the better!

What you can submit

• Work in progress. Been pondering a new idea and would like some feedback? Or running an (EU) project, or built a dataset, tool or other resource you’d like the community to know about? Send us an extended abstract (max. 500 words). Accepted work will be presented as a poster or during a breakout session. Junior researchers especially welcome! 
• Previously published work. Have a paper published at a conference or in a journal since 2025? Share it with the community to continue the conversation. The we will ask for a citation and PDF.  Accepted work will be presented as a lightning talk or poster.
• Session proposals. Want to bring people together around a topic, method or open challenge? Propose a session! Tell us the theme, the format (e.g., panel, discussion, hands-on), and who you’d like to involve, in max. 700 words.

Good to know

• There are no proceedings; the purpose of DBWRS is to exchange ideas, allow people to see recent work from conferences they could not attend, and increase awareness of all the RecSys work in the Netherlands and Belgium, while forming new connections.
• At least one author should join in person.
• Submissions go via a simple form, which will be available soon.

Important dates

• Submission deadline: January 5th, 2027
• Registration opens: mid-January 2027
• Notification: February 4th, 2027
