From this year on, ESWC will be under the umbrella of SWSA, the Semantic Web Science Association, to secure financial sustainability for the upcoming years after its previous supporting organisation STI was dissolved in 2023. Basics about the transition are given by Elena Simperl, president of SWSA.
@lysander07 The image shows a presentation slide titled "ESWC[@]SWSA" displayed on a large screen. The slide outlines the oversight rules that SWSA will follow with ESWC, similar to those at ISWC. The text includes bullet points detailing the roles and responsibilities, such as inviting the general chair, approving program chairs, and holding town hall meetings for improvement. It also mentions the transparent process for appointing local hosts, using profits for sustainability, and ensuring the conference series meets standards of excellence. The slide concludes with a note about exploring opportunities to align ESWC and ISWC for greater impact as a joint community.
In the foreground, a person stands at a podium, presumably delivering the presentation. The audience is partially visible, with a few individuals facing the speaker. The setting appears to be a conference room with a plain wall and a projection screen. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal presentation or meeting.
