The second edition of the European DAO Workshop (DAWO) will take place on June 23rd/24th 2025 in Zurich, Switzerland and aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).


(Call for Submissions)
DAWO25 is calling for Submissions related to DAOs from a wide range of research methodologies and theoretical perspectives – without claiming to be exhaustive – such as:

- Artificial Intelligence
- Metaverse & Gaming
- New Work
- Speculative Design
- Sustainability

- Decentralized Decision-Making
- Economics & Tokenomics
- Governance Structures
- Incentives & Reputation
- Organizational Design

- Business Models
- Community Building
- Legal Frameworks & Regulation
- Measurement and Verification of Contributions
- Use Case & Case Studies


Other topics on DAOs in the spirit of the above will also be considered. Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished work that is not currently being reviewed by another conference, workshop, or journal.


(Submission Types)

There are two types of submissions. Which type of contribution you will submit will depend on what you are hoping to get out of the DAO workshop. At least one author of each accepted submission is expected to register for DAWO25 to give a presentation.

- Full paper
Will give you the chance to have a full paper published open-access in the Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics.
Full papers should not exceed 14 pages, excluding references and appendices, and must use the Springer templates as provided below.

- Abstract-Only
Will give you the opportunity to present new ideas at the workshop at an early stage of a research project.
Abstract submissions should not extend 500 words and are based on intended research.


(Submission Guidelines)

- Abstract Submission

There is no specific format required for the abstract submission. In particular, abstracts are not subject to an anonymized peer-review process. The conference committee will make a selection considering quality of the research, but also other factors such as the diversity of speakers and topics.

- Full Paper Submission

DAWO25 uses a double-blind review process for full papers; author names and affiliations should not appear in the submission and authors should make a reasonable effort not to reveal their identities or institutional affiliation. Full papers that do not comply with these guidelines will be rejected without review.

All full papers must use the templates (Springer) provided. Only submission with their source file (word / LaTex) and PDF file will be accepted for the review process.

The workshop proceedings will be published by Springer.

All manuscripts (abstracts and full papers) need to be uploaded through the EasyChair portal.

(Conflict of Interest)

Authors and DAWO committee members are required to indicate any possible conflicts of interest. Potential conflicts of interest include:

- advisor-advisee relationships, at any time
- professional collaborations, employer/employee relationships
- co-authorship within the past 5 years
- current institutional conflicts
- or close personal relationships.
