September 16–18, 2026
Dear MOVE-ers and Members of the Wider Research Community,
We are pleased to announce the Third International Measuring Ontologies for Value Enhancement Workshop (MOVE2026), which will take place as a hybrid event (on-site and virtual), co-located at the Informatics Research Centre, Henley Business School, University of Reading, UK, from 16–18 September 2026.
MOVE2026 continues our effort to bring together researchers and practitioners working on ontologies, AI, enterprise architecture, knowledge representation, deep semantics, socio-technical systems, and related areas. As in previous MOVE workshops, we welcome interdisciplinary contributions, emerging ideas, and research in progress.
The Call for Participation is available on our website:
https://sysaffairs.org/
We invite you to register and submit:
via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=move2026
For manuscript submissions, papers should not exceed 10 pages, excluding references.
Please use Springer’s templates, available here:
Springer Conference Guidelines
As we are planning to publish the post-proceedings with Springer, authors will have the opportunity to revise and extend their papers after the workshop to incorporate feedback and discussions from the event.
Multiple submissions are welcome.
MOVE workshops are designed to encourage constructive discussion, mentoring, and collaborative refinement of ideas across disciplines and methodological traditions. We especially encourage submissions that explore new or unconventional approaches related to AI, ontologies, semantic systems, conceptual modeling, governance, collective intelligence, and related fields.
Further details and announcements are available at:

Please feel free to share this announcement with colleagues, students, research groups, and professional networks who may be interested in participating in MOVE2026.
We look forward to seeing your contributions and continuing to build the MOVE research community together.
