SUMMARY:Scottish Argumentation Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Scotland has a particularly high concentration of research groups working in the AI subfield of computational argumentation. Scottish Argumentation Day has previously been attended by researchers based both in Scotland and further afield\, and has enabled the Scottish argumentation community to present their work in an informal setting\, share feedback\, and strengthen professional links. SAD began with Aberdeen 2011\, and most recently took place in Edinburgh 2024. \nIn continuing this series\, our aim is threefold: (i) enable Scottish argumentation researchers\, and especially PhD students\, to mutually present their work; (ii) affirm Scottish argumentation research as a recognisable presence; (iii) provide a concrete opportunity for Scottish researchers to network. \nAt SAD 2026 we aim to improve visibility for Scotland-based researchers\, especially PhD students and early-career researchers\, to encourage knowledge- and skill-exchange at all levels\, and to foster cross-institution relations and collaborations. \nParticipation is free but registration is required. \n————————————————– \nWe invite abstracts of up to 250 words to be presented as a short talk or poster. Participants at all levels are encouraged to present work\, so that everyone can come away with a view of the current Scottish argumentation landscape. We invite abstracts at a range of levels\, including: \n\nOverview of a specific research project or a lab’s area of work\nRecent work\nWork in progress\, recent findings or initial results\nPhD projects and project plans\n\nPhD students are especially encouraged to present their projects and project plans to benefit from wider feedback in a supportive atmosphere. \nAbstract submission form: https://forms.gle/qCVGqi1sahCKATJv6 \n————————————————– \nThe day will be scaffolded by three keynote talks by John Lawrence of the University of Dundee\, Elena Musi of the University of Liverpool and Henning Wachsmuth of Leibniz University Hannover. \n————————————————–
