Call for Videos for the Video Track

We are excited to announce the PC for the first edition of a video track as part of the 21st International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2024). The aim of the video track is twofold. First, it wants to encourage KR groups to make the outcome of their work more accessible to a wider public and to foster good practice for KR outreach. Second, it provides researchers with a prominent platform to showcase interesting applications and insights and to make them available to a diverse audience from science, industry and the general public.

All accepted videos will be made available from the KR Inc website (https://kr.org/) and promoted on the KR Inc social media channels including the YouTube channel of the KR conference series (https://www.youtube.com/@krconferenceseries9472). There will be awards for the best received videos. The winners will be announced at the KR 2024 conference.
