The ECIR 2016 industry track aims to bring together IR researchers, practitioners and analysts from industry and academia. Since the first ECIR industry day at ECIR 2006 in London, these events have been very successful and provided many interesting talks.

We aim to bring an exciting programme mixing invited talks by industry leaders with presentations of novel and innovative ideas from the search industry. We explicitly do not seek sales presentations. We encourage startups working on new ideas to showcase working systems. We welcome presentations about:

	• New search and discovery solutions
	• Working systems that showcase new IR perspectives
	• Novel industrial applications that introduce new IR problems
	• IR related R&D challenges in industry
	• Data science findings on real-world data sets
	• Case studies showing successful industrial adaptations of IR theory and principles in practice
	• Successful industry-academy collaborations on real-life problems
	• Publicly available benchmarks and datasets, and their ability to predict performance of real systems
