We are pleased to announce the Call for Abstracts, Full Papers, and Panel Proposals for the Data for Policy 2025 Conference – Europe Edition, to be held on 12-13 June 2025 at Leiden University, The Hague, Netherlands. The conference will focus on the theme “Twin Transitions in Data and Policy for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future,” addressing the role of data and AI in driving sustainability and inclusion within the context of the digital and green transformations reshaping global economies and societies.
The Conference Committee invites submissions from diverse interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral perspectives. Submissions are organised into six standard focus areas and four complementary special tracks in the following formats:
- Individual Extended Abstracts: We invite early-stage research, innovative ideas, or conceptual perspectives aligned with the conference theme or related other thematic areas of interest to Data for Policy. Abstracts should present emerging findings, hypotheses, or frameworks that contribute to the understanding of the intersections between data, policy, and sustainable transformations.
- Full Papers: We seek full papers that provide rigorous analysis, methodological advancements, or case studies on digital and green transitions, data-driven policymaking, and the integration of AI in sustainability initiatives. Full paper submissions will undergo an integrated review process, allowing them to be reviewed concurrently for both conference presentation and potential publication in the Data & Policy journal. Upon acceptance for the conference, these papers will proceed to a second stage of peer review for journal inclusion.
- Panel Proposals: We invite proposals for pre-configured panels with multiple presentations or expert discussions on topics aligned with the conference theme, including:
- The challenges and opportunities of the twin transitions.
- Panels related to Data for Policy’s thematic areas.
- Practitioner and policy panels addressing regional issues or providing actionable frameworks for sustainable transitions.
