2nd International Workshop on Open Web Search: Call for Participation

We invite you to participate in the ECIR 2025 Workshop on Open Web Search.

Since much of the web search technology stack is closed source, and many even basic pieces of technology for building a scalable web search engine are missing, the WOWS workshop aims to promote, discuss, and develop an open web search ecosystem.
