• Human-Animal Interaction

• Human-Robot Interaction

• Emotion Modelling

• Human Responses to Affective Artificial Agents

Abstract Submission:

We will be accepting abstract submissions for Poster and “Flash Talk” presentations. We invite authors to submit contributions in the shape of an extended abstract. The extended abstract should be 1000 words (references excluded) in PDF format and should outline the goals of the research, the methods used, and a summary of the results. The extended abstract should also contain one question/challenge that should be addressed during the workshop. Submissions are welcome from any career status. Acceptance of the contribution is at the discretion of the program committee based on a review by the committee. Extended abstracts will be published online, but not through an official publisher, meaning that you keep the copyright and you are still able to submit elsewhere.

Motivation Letter Submission:

We welcome individuals who wish to attend the pre-conference without presenting a poster or giving a flash talk. In such cases,  attendees are asked to submit a motivation letter (max 1000 words) in PDF format. This letter should articulate their genuine interest in the workshop's theme and clearly explain the relevance of their participation to their academic or professional goals. The motivation should also contain one question/challenge that should be addressed during the workshop. Submissions are welcome from any career status. Motivation letters will be reviewed, and participants will be selected based on the strength of their motivation and alignment with the workshop's objectives.
