Registration is now open for the 17th ACM Web Science Conference 2025 (WebSci’25), which will be held at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, USA from May 20-23, 2025.

Early registrationhttps://web.cvent.com/event/2e093aad-3faa-464d-8a3e-b85c84558de6/summary is open until 21 April. You can find the conference schedule here: https://www.websci25.org/program/

We hope you will join us for this highly interdisciplinary conference dedicated to understanding the complex and multiple impacts of the Web on society and vice versa.

This year’s conference focuses on “Maintaining a human-centric web in the era of generative AI.” Web-based experiences are more deeply integrated into human experiences than ever before in history. However, the rapid deployment of artificial intelligence (including large language models) has drastically shifted the interactions between humans in the digital environment. The Web has never been more productive, but the integrity of human connection has been compromised. Trust and community have been eroded during this current era of the Web and researching alternative aspects of life on the Web is as essential as ever. Bots, deepfakes, and sophisticated cyberattacks are proliferating rapidly while people increasingly navigate the Web for news, social interaction, and learning.
