Synthetic datasets that reflect the statistical properties of authentic data allow to share research insights and findings without compromising privacy or proprietary interests. This approach not only promotes transparency and reproducibility in research but also encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the main areas utilizing generated synthetic data. Privacy issues arise once the dataset contains sensitive features playing a role in training AI systems. Because data collection is expensive and time-consuming, given some shortcomings such as low volume of data, non-compliance with regulations, and bias, we not only may achieve biased and low-performance models but also violate privacy principles. Synthetic data generation can facilitate analysis, the need for data augmentation, or prevent data breaches in highly sensitive domains, rather than weak anonymization approaches. Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Variational Autoencoders (VAE), and Agent-based modeling (ABM) are among the most common synthetic data generation algorithms. However, it is critical to recognize the limitations of synthetic data generation, particularly in capturing the intricacies and interdependencies present in real-world systems. While synthetic datasets can mimic statistical distributions and patterns, they may struggle to replicate the nuanced relationships and contextual nuances inherent in complex phenomena. By leveraging advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational modeling, researchers can strive to bridge the gap between synthetic and authentic data, unlocking new opportunities for insight and innovation in fields as diverse as healthcare, finance, social sciences, and beyond. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the IEEE CSR 2025 conference as a physical event, during August 4?C6, 2025. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions from a broad range of topics, which include but are not limited to the following: 
## Important Dates
