<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">The 19th IEEE eScience Conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus on October 9-13, 2023. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">eScience 2023 welcomes proposals for workshops to be co-located with the main conference</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">on Monday, October 9 and Tuesday, October 10, 2023.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">The eScience conference has a long history of hosting well-attended workshops broadly</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">related to eScience and co-located with the main conference. These workshops share the goal</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">of bringing together international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">Workshops play a crucial role in the conference by providing an opportunity for researchers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">and practitioners to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">have in-depth discussions of particular topics of interest to the community. Workshops may be</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">focused on any eScience-related topic including, but not limited to interdisciplinary and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">translational research, continuum computing infrastructures, data science, sustainability, and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">education.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">eScience 2023 invites authors of workshop proposals to consider a diverse group of</span></div>
