In an era where personalization technologies increasingly shape human
decision-making, integrating sustainability and social good into
user-adaptive systems has become an essential challenge. Adaptive systems
influence choices across many contexts, including health, mobility,
education, and media consumption, positioning them as key technologies for
supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. UMAP4Good 2026 provides an
interdisciplinary venue to explore how personalization can support
sustainable behaviors, ethical decision-making, and positive societal
impact.

We welcome works at various stages of development, including applied
systems, empirical results, or theoretically grounded positions. We invite
submissions in the form of full papers, reproducibility papers, short
papers, and extended abstracts. Note: Accepted papers (full,
reproducibility, and short) will be published in the proceedings (CEUR).
Extended abstracts are editorially reviewed for workshop presentation only
and will not be included in the proceedings.
