#### #1 **Towards a Methodological Framework for Inclusive and Socio-Technical Accessibility Research**
13:30 – 17:00 – optional meet for lunch at 12:30
Sven Bittenbinder, Claudius Clüver, Claudia Müller, Frauke Mörike, Barbarella Petz
**Abstract:** This workshop aims at advancing a shift from technical to socio-technical and critical perspectives on inclusive technologies. Rather than treating accessibility as a purely technical feature or a compliance-based “box to tick,” the convenors conceptualise disability as culturally produced and socially structured and embedded in wider socio-material arrangements. In HCI and CSCW, diverse conceptualisations of research on assistive technologies are employed, oscillating between more technically oriented and more socio-technical starting points. This workshop aims to contribute to systematising these approaches and to critically examining their respective advantages and challenges.

**Call for participation**
We invite researchers, practitioners, people with disabilities, and other stakeholders to contribute to the workshop by submitting a short position paper on the above-mentioned goals, along with a short biography of the author(s). Papers should be no longer than 4 pages, excluding the bibliography. Please prepare your paper using the EUSSET template and submit it by email to sven.bittenbinder@uni-siegen.de by May 15, 2026.
There is an opportunity to have your submissions published in the ECSCW workshop proceedings. To this end, submissions will be reviewed for their relevance to the workshop topic. If accepted by the workshop organizers, a camera-ready version must be submitted by June 5.

#### #2 **3rd International Workshop on Hybrid Collaboration–Recent Perspectives on Hybrid Work**
09:00 – 17:00
Thomas Neumayr, Frederik Hirschmann, Karin Breckner, Mirjam Augstein, Johannes Schönböck, Tuire Oittinen, Minttu Vänttinen, Jennifer Gerbl, Julia Kleinau
**Abstract:** Hybrid collaboration, where co-located participants are working together with remote participants, is increasingly established as a de-facto standard practice in our everyday professional lives. Since the first edition of this workshop in 2019, the pool of research has considerably increased. However, studying such collaborative practices is still met with skepticism by researchers due to the considerable effort that is connected to the according empirical endeavors. In this workshop, we aim at bringing together researchers and practitioners who would like to learn from collaborative practices in general (i.e., co-located or remote), and/or a domain transfer to hybrid collaboration in particular.

#### #3 **Towards trust architectures and assurance of AI-based systems**
09:00 – 17:00
Rob Procter, Mark Rouncefield, Peter Tolmie, Claudia Mueller
**Abstract:** This workshop sets out to explore our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning interpersonal trust, institutional trust and trust in technology. In particular, it seeks to explore how these different kinds of trust complement and interrelate with one another to form a ‘trust architecture’ that supports effective and dependable uses of technologies and tools. With the rapid push to adopt AI-based systems within organisations in both the private and public sector, there is an urgent need to determine what actions – both social and technical – should be taken to establish and adapt this trust architecture. This is central to developing trust in AI-based systems, and assurance and governance processes that can then sustain that trust. We invite position papers, empirical studies, requirements investigations, and potential solutions relating to these concerns.

#### #4 **Sustaining Participation Beyond Projects: CSCW Challenges in Designing Infrastructures with Marginalised Communities**
09:00 – 12:30 + lunch
Michelle O’Keeffe, Denise Heffernan, Moya Cronin, Thomas Murphy, Paul Lally, Ciara Ahern, Ehiaze Ehimen, Mary Galvin
**Abstract:** Participatory design and community engagement are central to CSCW, yet sustaining meaningful participation with marginalised communities remains a persistent challenge, particularly in contexts shaped by institutional fragmentation, socio-technical exclusion, and structural inequalities. While Communities of Practice (CoPs) support professional knowledge exchange, they often fail to enable equitable participation for those most affected by socio-technical systems. This workshop examines participatory infrastructuring as a core CSCW challenge, drawing on insights from the MOBILISE project, a multi-year initiative working with Irish Traveller communities to address energy, housing, and service access in mobile living contexts. Our work highlights the need to intentionally design engagement infrastructures that support sustained collaboration across community, institutional, and technical boundaries. From this, Communities of Engagement (CoEs) are emerging as a promising approach to inclusive, long-term participation. Through collaborative activities, participants will develop frameworks and research directions to advance CSCW work on participatory infrastructuring and equitable engagement.
