The ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work (GROUP) is a premier yet intimate and welcoming venue for research on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Sociotechnical Studies, Practice-Centered Computing, Human Computer Interaction, Computer Supported Collaborative Learning, Open Source Software, and related endeavors. GROUP 2025 will be held at Sonesta Resort, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA, January 12-15, 2025.

Key goals for the program are to encourage and facilitate researchers within CSCW, HCI for practice-centered computing, and sociotechnical studies to interact and to present recent research contributions. We also encourage research contributions from interdisciplinary groups to present work that might be difficult to place within one simple category. We are open to diverse and innovative research methods, and to contributions across broad areas such as systems, societies, participation, critique, collaboration, and human interaction. GROUP 2025 in particular would like to encourage cross-disciplinary research across computing, social science, law, and algorithmic systems design, as well as researchers from industry, academia, government, and other interested groups to participate.

Conference topics include (but are not limited to):

    Theoretical, methodological, and/or conceptual contributions about key concepts relevant to CSCW and HCI, including critique.
    Social, behavioral, and computational studies of collaboration and communication.
    Technical architectures supporting collaboration.
    New tools/toolkits for collaborative technologies.
    Ethnographic studies of collaborative practices.
    Coordination and workflow technology.
    Social computing and contexts of collaboration.
    Studies on Open Source Software.
    Current work in, and future visions of, practice-centered computing.
    Social justice, ethical dimensions, and related issues in CSCW, HCI, and/or sociotechnical systems.
    Online communities, including issues of privacy, identity, trust, and participation.
    Cooperative knowledge management.
    Algorithmic decision-support systems, automation, and human-AI collaboration.
    Civic technologies and their uses.
    Organizational issues of technology design, use, or adaptation.
    Strategies for use of technology in business, government, and newer forms of organizations.
    The ethical conduct of research studying group work and sociotechnical systems
    Emerging technologies and their design, use, or appropriation in work, home, leisure, entertainment, or education.
    Learning at the workplace (CSCL at work, Technology-Enhanced Learning, TEL).
    Co-located and geographically-distributed teams, global collaboration.
    Cultural and cross-cultural collaboration and communication.
    Mobile and wearable technologies in collaboration.
    Innovative forms of human computer interaction for cooperative technologies.
