# The COMSOC Workshop Series

The central event in the international calendar for the COMSOC community is the COMSOC Workshop, which takes place every other year (with the exception of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

COMSOC is an interdisciplinary, informal, and inclusive event. It attracts both computer scientists and economists (and many others), and both firmly established members of the community and newcomers. Papers are carefully reviewed, yet the proceedings are informal only, meaning that authors are free to formally publish their work elsewhere. Nobody presents more than one paper.

The coordination of the series is managed by a [Steering Committee](#steering-committee).
