Call for Workshops
The 38th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (Canadian AI 2025) and 22nd Conference on Robots and Vision (CRV 2025) are pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held alongside the main conference, which will be held from May 26–29, 2024. Workshops provide a platform for focused discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaboration on specific topics. In addition to the topics of interest for Canadian AI and CRV conferences, we also encourage proposals that foster interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research on applications of AI, and strongly support workshops that are co-chaired by researchers from different institutions to encourage cross-institutional collaboration and diversity in perspectives.

Workshop Themes​
​
We invite proposals on a broad range of AI-related topics, as well as those focusing on novel application areas where AI can have a transformative impact. Additionally, we strongly encourage workshop proposals in novel and transformative application areas, including but not limited to Climate science and sustainability, Public policy and governance, Humanities and social sciences (e.g., AI in literature, historical research), Arts, culture, and digital heritage preservation, AI for global health, pandemic preparedness, and policy.
Workshops that bring together researchers from different disciplines and institutions are highly encouraged, as these collaborations can lead to groundbreaking insights and innovations. Proposals with co-organizers from multiple institutions are particularly welcomed, as they foster diverse perspectives and strengthen the interdisciplinary nature of the discussions to explore how AI can bridge gaps between disciplines and play a transformative role in addressing societal challenges.
Workshop Format
Workshops can be structured as full-day or half-day events and should promote interaction and collaboration. Suggested formats include a combination of invited talks, panel discussions, paper presentations, and breakout sessions to encourage deep dives into specific challenges or emerging topics.
