| 10 Nov 2025 34th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2025) |
| 26 May 2026 18th ACM Web Science Conference 2026 |
The INTR/HT (International Teaching and Research in Hypertext) is sponsored and supported by the ACM Hypertext Conference and ACM SIGWEB. The in-person Summer School will be held from September 13–14, 2025, followed by participation in the HT’25 Hypertext Conference from September 15–19, 2025.
Are you a graduate student and enthusiastic about hypertext research and technology? Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in the INTR/HT Summer School at the prestigious 2025 ACM Hypertext Conference!
The INTR/HT Summer School is an intensive study of hypertext theory and practice funded by SIGWEB for master’s and PhD level students, with the goal of educating the next generation hypertext researchers. It takes place online during the summer and culminates as in-person study over the two-day period leading into the ACM Hypertext ’25 Conference in Chicago, USA.
Instruction is held seminar-style and taught by leading hypertext researchers. Topics include the hypertext field and community, research methodologies, research practices and opportunities, publications and the ACM style guidelines, and ethics and professional conduct. Students will also gain insights about the ACM Hypertext Conference structure, SIGWEB, and ACM. At the end of the program, students will have gained a greater understanding of the field, built expertise as a hypertext researcher, developed a network of colleagues, and become better prepared to participate in future ACM conferences.
Funding
Up to fifteen students selected for the first cohort of the INTR/HT Summer School will receive up to $1,000 each in funding for travel expenses.
Accommodation will be provided free of charge in university dorms. Students who wish to stay elsewhere will be responsible for covering their own costs.
Students will also receive free registration for both the HT’25 workshops and the main conference.

The 36th ACM Hypertext Conference will be held in Chicago, USA, from September 15-19, 2025. This year's theme, "The World as Hypertext," aims to bring together state-of-the-art technology, creativity, society, and scholarship through the lens of hypertext.
Selected papers from ACM HT 2025 will be invited to extend their manuscript to be submitted to a special issue of the journal "New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia".
This year's conference includes the following tracks for paper submissions as a long or short research paper.
Track 1: Hyper-Systems
Infrastructure, Workflows, and Applications as Hypertext
Track 1 seeks submissions on hypertextual systems (including software, workflows, and data models) or hypertextual approaches to technology. Systems papers describing novel architectures, original algorithms, innovative uses of AI and social media, or applied hypertext technology in cultural heritage, education, games, or more.
Track 2: Hyper-Creation
Authorship, Media, and Readership as Hypertext
Track 2 focuses on the creation and consumption of hypertext and hypermedia. This includes design methods and best practices for creating hypertext, technology for creating hypertext, new forms of and approaches to hypertext, and understanding the impact of all of these things on the creative process, designers, developers, readers, users, and the hypertext itself.
Track 3: Hyper-Society
Communities, People, and Communication as Hypertext
Track 3 calls for submissions exploring the human aspect of hypertextual systems such as social media, as well as research on hypertextual structures and patterns in communities, as well as the impact of hypertext on society.
Track 4: Hyper-Scholarship
Research, Philosophy, and Academia as Hypertext
Track 4 will be taking submissions on the impact of hypertext on scholarship and research, scholarly philosophies and ethics of hypertext, and new methodologies and research strategies in our community.
Important Dates
April 21, 2025, May 9, 2025 – Paper submission

Important note on attendance: Due to recent travel advisories from some countries, the organizing committee has decided to shift the conference to a hybrid format, allowing for remote presentations if the presenters have difficulties with travel restrictions or VISA applications.
For submission guidelines and more information, please refer to the official website of the conference: https://ht.acm.org/ht2025
Workshops should create an informal framework for an innovative exchange of views, experiences, new ways to present ideas, promote the research community, and identify open problems and/or directions for future research. At the same time, they also provide a good opportunity for researchers and junior researchers to present their work and receive feedback from an interested community in an interactive and constructive atmosphere. Proposals are particularly appreciated on new topics related to the main topics of the conference, but may also include other (new) topics that may be of interest to the Hypertext community. There are no limits to creativity in workshop design at ACM Hypertext.
Submissions should be e-mailed to the track chairs (
