This year, we chose the theme for the track to be "What is IR-for-Good?" to draw attention to the fact that "societal good" is still very under-theorized in the field of IR. This is a critical open question that the community needs to develop a shared understanding of. #ECIR2026 #IR4Good

The review outcomes is not a reflection on the quality of your research. Independent of any outcomes, all of you (authors and program committee members) have collectively pushed the field forward with your hard work. So, let's celebrate that together as a community! 🎉🎉🎉 #ECIR #IR4Good

Congratulations to authors who had their paper accepted at the conference track and solidarity with authors whose papers had less favorable outcomes. In spite of our best efforts to ensure quality reviewing, please remember that there is always stochasticity in the reviewing process. #ECIR #IR4Good

Submissions of papers must be at least 6 pages (the sixth page should have at least some content but not necessary to fill it) and at most 12 pages in length plus additional pages for references. The "Theory of Change" section and Appendices count toward the page limit. Please put appendices before the references for paper submission. While this year we do not set separate submission tracks for full and short papers in the IR-for-Good track, the assessment of each submission will be based on whether the paper length is commensurate with its contribution. For example, a 6-page paper would be accepted if its scientific contribution is worth 6 pages. However, a 12-page paper would be considered weak if it only contains the substance of a 6-page paper.
This year, we do not set separate submission tracks for #IR4Good full and short papers. All submissions must be between 6 to 12 pages in length plus additional pages for references. Paper lengths should be commensurate with its contribution.

At ECIR'26, the #IR4Good track will run alongside the main conference, not on workshop day. The special track will be a platform to highlight top societally-motivated IR research. We strongly encourage authors to submit societally-motivated papers to this special track.
