CfP conference Undone Computer Science 2026, 23-25th March 2026 (Luxembourg/hybrid)
by Melanie Dulong de Rosnay Aug. 19, 2025

Aug. 19, 2025

Dear colleagues of the NoC, Here is the Call for Papers for the "Undone Science in Computer Science” conference I'm helping co-organise. It will take place in hybrid and Luxembourg on March 23-24. See details below, or at https://www.undonecs.org/2026 Kind regards, Melanie Dulong de Rosnay Research professor, CNRS https://cis.cnrs.fr/en/melanie-dulong-2/ Center for Internet and Society, CNRS Research Unit and Network Director, Research Network on Internet, AI and Society https://cis.cnrs.fr/en/the-cis/ CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS — please disseminate widely to your colleagues and networks (apologies for cross-posting) 2nd conference on *Undone Science in Computer Science* — A conference to explore epistemological and ethical dimensions of computer science through the concept of undone science * *Luxembourg, 23-25th March 2026* (hybrid) * Calling for short talk proposals (1-3 pages abstracts) * Submission deadline: *October 9th 2025* (anywhere on Earth) * Post-proceedings model: we will send a call for full papers after the conference * Some travel funding available for speakers * More information at <https://www.undonecs.org/2026/> PRESENTATION As researchers, we are committed to advancing computer science in a way that is both epistemologically and ethically sound. With the *Undone Computer Science* conference, we provide an informal venue to pause and reflect on these aspects of our scientific practices. Our goal is to *bring together computer scientists from across the field, but also social scientists, philosophers and historians of science, and other scholars* interested in discussing the ethical and epistemological dimensions of our work. We welcome abstracts exploring these dimensions, and encourage submissions from a wide range of perspectives. *Abstracts should be 1-3 pages*, clearly outlining the main arguments and contributions of the proposed talk. *As a guiding question, we propose to apply the concept of undone science [1] to computer science.* Undone science refers to questions that are left unaddressed, ignored, or unfunded for various reasons, yet demonstrably worthy of exploration. It highlights the idea that the production and dissemination of knowledge are variously influenced, leading to biases in the choice of research that is done, and eventually in a “systematic non-production of knowledge” [2]. We might want to understand, for instance, whether the way in which computer science is established eventually leaves out some potentially crucial questions and areas of investigation, and what pushes some questions or methods to be ignored whilst others might be favoured. The striking example of AI ethics indeed reminds us of some of the society-impacting case studies which originally motivated the analytical concept of undone science—including corporate influence denounced by critical voices [3], and the debate on requirements and evaluation criteria to improve research by acting on what is funded and published [4]. But undone science could also refer to the consequences of “theoretical commitments” [2], i.e., dominant paradigms, when they blind us collectively about what is worthy or not of exploration—all the while accounts of paradigm shifts in our young domain remain rare. It could refer as well to technical or methodological biases, such as when the availability of certain software or hardware at the right time determines which research idea “wins” [5], or when the haste towards automation in algorithm design leads to a loss of valuable insights compared to alternative paths where people are involved in data exploration [6]. Undone science also refers originally to questions first recognised by actors from civil society—for computer scientists, the free software movement and civil liberties organisations come to mind. We believe that the concept of undone science can further help bring out the epistemological and ethical aspects of research in computer science, and encourage submissions from a wide range of perspectives. Undone Computer Science is an informal peer-reviewed conference with separately reviewed post-proceedings: depending upon the eventual number and quality of submissions, we intend to follow up the conference with a call for full papers to be published in an open-access journal. (Presenting at the conference does not commit to submit a full paper; nor is it necessary to present at the conference to respond to the call for full papers.) POTENTIAL TOPICS It is not necessary to be familiar with the concept of undone science in order to contribute. *Potential topics include, but are not limited to:* * Areas of research in computer science meeting challenges that will require or have required *shifts in viewpoint*; conditions responsible for *certain kinds of research being over- or under-represented*; reasons for a set of *questions being neglected* in an area. * Epistemological questions and challenges, for instance arising from the *interdisciplinary nature* of computer science, or dealing with the articulations between theory and practice; investigations on the values of computer science. * How *social movements or civil society organisations* (e.g. free software movement) play a role in identifying areas of research being left aside, in providing new research questions, or on the contrary in demanding that some kind of research remains undone. * Challenges of integrating ethical and political questioning regarding *social, economic, and environmental consequences* of our work into the process of making “good science”. Concrete examples of questions stemming from ethical consideration being introduced to a domain (why/how), are welcome. * How *ethics codes* (including for instance the ACM Code of Ethics) can be leveraged (or fail) to present some questions as being worthy of exploration; more broadly how guiding principles can be put in place to enrich the research practices in an area. * Explorations of the *influence of publishing practices* within our community, and of popular research methodology and scientific writing guides provided within our fields, on the selection, execution, and dissemination of research. * Examinations of biases and limitations present in commonly-used *educational curricula* (for instance leading to or stemming from a lack of diversity, be it social or methodological). * More generally, any discussion of “systematic non-production” or non-dissemination of knowledge in a broad sense, whether in computer science in general or a specific area, whether past or present; whether due to *limitations of available methodologies, blind spots of dominant paradigms, institutional and industrial biases, lack of social representation,* or other factors. We look forward to receiving your abstracts, and to an engaging and thought-provoking conference. Sincerely, the organisers KEY DATES * Submission deadline: October 9th 2025 (anywhere on Earth) * Author notification: December 8th 2025 * Conference: 23-25th March 2026, hosted by the University of Luxembourg SUBMITTING * Instructions: 1. Abstracts should be 1-3 pages in length (excluding bibliography) and should succinctly present the key arguments and contributions of the proposed talk. The submission can contain appendices or a link to a longer version, but the point of the submission should be clear from the first three pages (reviewers are not obligated to read any further). 2. Submissions should be uploaded to EasyChair in PDF format: <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=undonecs26> 3. The conference being aimed at a wide range of research domains, authors are welcome to include a brief biography if relevant for the contribution (up to 5 lines). 4. Authors can opt for lightweight double-blind reviewing (with the identity of the authors revealed to the reviewers after they submit their review). In this case, the submission should simply be prepared with authors and institutions omitted, and all citations in the 3rd person. The biography can still be included in an anonymised form (omitting the names of both people and institutions). 5. Unfinished or exploratory contributions, that would benefit from discussion at the conference prior to their possible development into full papers, are welcome. There is no submission category, but authors can make it clear in the submission if they strongly prefer a short or a long presentation slot. 6. For a paper accepted at the conference, at least one author is generally expected to present in person, but we will work to make remote presentations possible. (Feel free to inquire in advance with the organisers.) 7. Recognising the importance of the promotion of multilingualism in science [7], we welcome submissions in multiple languages (e.g. translations of the same 1-3 p. talk proposal), provided that the submission can be reviewed from the English version alone. In addition, in special situations where a talk proposal cannot be submitted in English, please contact the chairs in advance to determine if the PC is able to review it. * Acceptance criteria: 1. *Computer Science:* we seek contributions pertaining to computer science (in a broad sense comprising both works *in* computer science and works *on* computer science), 2. *Author expertise:* we expect authors to contribute in accordance with their domains of expertise, in a broad sense; for instance a contribution on ethical issues by a computer scientist can be rooted in their research practice, a contribution by a social scientist can be rooted in the study of an example or through field work; a contribution by a philosopher or historian of science can be rooted in the study of computer science as a specific domain of production of knowledge and scientific practice. 3. *Undone science:* we expect that the question of undone science will inspire presentations that lead to meaningful reflections touching upon ethical or epistemological aspects of computer science in a broad sense, without requiring expertise in epistemology and ethics. For instance, a submission from a computer scientist could outline a potential ethical question, rooted in their research practice, even if its consequences in ethics cannot be fully elaborated at this point. (In doubt, feel free to inquire with the organisers about a potential topic.) * As a general goal, the programme will leave ample time for individual presentations and for discussions. To this end, the program committee can decide to allot presentation slots of varying durations according to the extent of individual submissions and to the authors' expressed preference. * We will endeavour to always give considerate and constructive feedback about proposed abstracts. * Accepted abstracts will be made available online in the programme of the conference. * PC and general chairs are not allowed to submit. Members of the PC are allowed to submit talk proposals in double-blind reviewing. * For all submissions, usual strict rules regarding conflicts of interest apply (see the COPE guidelines <https://doi.org/10.24318/ElTeSLhp> or the ACM policy on conflicts of interest <https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/conflict-of-interest>). Please contact the chairs below regarding any question. REGISTRATION & ATTENDING * Inscription fees: we aim for low fees of around 100€. * The venue has good accessibility and we strive to make our conference accessible; more information will be provided on the website of the conference. Feel free to inquire with the organisers. * A limited number of travel grants might be offered for speakers who require it. Feel free to inquire in advance with the organisers. * The talks will be streamed online. Please visit the website <https://www.undonecs.org/2026/> or contact us below if you need more information.

Invitation to Collaborate: Join the Worldwide Research Network of the Global Index on Responsible AI
by Fola Adeleke June 16, 2025

June 16, 2025

Dear colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to invite expressions of interest from members of the Network of Centers (NoC) to participate as research partners in the 2nd Edition of the Global Index on Responsible AI (GIRAI). GIRAI is a global initiative evaluating responsible AI commitments and practices across 140+ countries and jurisdictions and it is the first of its kind to be led from the Majority World. The first edition had notable global impact, with findings informing national AI strategies in countries like Colombia and Kenya, and being cited in reports by UNESCO and UNDP. For this edition, we seek independent research organizations based in Europe and North America to join our Global Research Network and lead data collection efforts for one or more regional countries.This would involve approximately 20 hours of training in September, followed by an estimated 40-60 hours of data collection and review between October and December 2025. Partners will also support regional collaboration and contribute to policy-relevant insights grounded in local expertise. We expect data collection to be led by Master’s or Ph.D. level researchers with expertise in AI governance or digital policy, ideally with prior experience contributing to governance assessments in their countries. This is an in-kind collaboration, as funding has been prioritized for Majority World countries and underrepresented regions. All outputs will be published in open, reusable formats under open licensing to ensure transparency and global accessibility. Attached is a brief proposal <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PpnGe7p4paa6mH_HycUePVXKmNAcWMLNejM…> with further details on the initiative, roles, and expected time commitments. If your organization is interested or would like to discuss further, we would be happy to arrange a short call. You are also welcome to reach out directly with any questions or expressions of interest. Kind regards, Fola Adeleke, PhD Executive Director Global Center on AI Governance <https://www.globalcenter.ai/>

Dear NoC colleagues: I’m pleased to share our report “AI and US-Mexico Relations: The Future(s) of Work <https://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/ai-and-us-mexico-relations-futures-…>” co-authored by Armando Guio Español, Cristina Martínez Pinto, César A. Uribe, and myself. The report was developed as part of the new AI Policy and Governance Initiative at the Center for the U.S. and Mexico at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, and also reflects our ongoing collaboration with the Global Network of Centers. The report is based on perspectives shared by AI experts from the United States, Mexico, and other Latin American countries in our group’s inaugural symposium on “AI and the Future(s) of Work” in February 2025. The report identifies a series of critical challenges and opportunities for regional collaboration in AI and automation research, development, and policymaking, and explores ongoing shifts in U.S. AI regulatory policy and recent changes produced in the Latin American workforce by generative AI. We look forward to any comments and opportunities to collaborate on related topics! Please feel free to learn more about growing initiative here <https://www.bakerinstitute.org/ai-policy-governance>.

Dear Friends, Good morning from my timezone. I trust this message finds you well. I am reaching out to inquire if anyone has any insights or additional information about the AI for Developing Countries Forum. Specifically, I am interested in understanding their focus – whether they primarily engage with development organisations and civil society, or if they also include representatives from the AI industry with a particular interest in this sector. I would be grateful for any information you can share, especially perspectives that go beyond what is readily available in the public domain. Many thanks in advance.
