The second edition of the Context Representation in User Modelling (CRUM) workshop, themed “Human-Centred Context”, aimed to provide a venue for research on contextual information within the evolving landscape of UMAP. This workshop explored context through a human-centred lens, emphasising the nuanced interplay between subjective and objective contexts in user experience rather than traditional domain-centred approaches. This theme encouraged accounting for the interaction between the user model and the contextual environment. The workshop also fostered discussion on the landscape of contextual representation – ranging from physical settings and social dynamics to technological interfaces – as well as on interaction design, user experiences, and influencing user behaviour. Prospective authors were invited to submit two types of papers: full papers of up to seven pages and two-page provocation papers. Accepted submissions are summarised in this workshop report.
