The workshop welcomes contributions in the form of abstracts to foster discussion around the co-creation of the fairness blueprint. The abstract topic should be related to fairness in algorithmic decision-making in education, with a focus on (but not limited to) the following areas:

Fairness methods design and incorporation

• Incorporating fairness principles across an AIED system
• Ensuring fairness across the AIED system lifecycle
• Integrating fairness with other AIED areas to provide complementary benefits

Fairness auditing and evaluation

• Algorithmic auditing procedures in the context of AIED
• Improving fairness metrics, definitions, and evaluation approaches in AIED
• Strengthening mechanisms for long-term adherence to fairness in AIED

Fairness gaps and challenges identification

• Identifying gaps and challenges in AIED regarding fairness
• Exploring what we can do better concerning fairness as a research community
• Challenges to improving fairness in practice
• Methods for addressing these challenges in adopting fairness

Procedural Fairness

• Operationalizing and studying procedural fairness across an AIED system
• Gaps in current AIED research related to procedural fairness
• Ensuring procedural fairness in AIED by identifying and addressing practical implementation challenges
• Topics related to procedural fairness in education
