We are very pleased to announce that the 27th International Academic Mindtrek conference will take place between the 8th and 11th of October 2024 as a hybrid event in Tampere, Finland — in person, and live-streamed online.
The conference welcomes proposals for full papers, workshops, demonstrations and poster presentations as well as applications for our Doctoral Consortium.
International Academic Mindtrek has been an exciting meeting place for over 25 years, where researchers, experts, and thinkers present results from their latest works regarding the development of novel technology, media, and digital culture for the societies of tomorrow.
Mindtrek provides a unique platform where individuals from different fields, including companies, startups, academia, and government institutions, come together. This diversity fosters collaboration, enabling the transition of research findings into practical applications for the industry. Mindtrek presents an international stage for out-of-the-box research ideas, rooted in practitioners’ expertise.
Submission Guidelines
Academic Mindtrek 2024 welcomes all scientific contributions that present relevant and actual studies of today that may shape the way we interact with the technologies of tomorrow. Our goal is to facilitate meaningful experiences and knowledge sharing on how technology merges into society and what opportunities and hidden threats it brings to it.
The conference is grounded in a strong collaboration between local organizers from Tampere University and international partners. This collaboration merges Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research and development in individual conference Tracks:
- Games and Gamification
- Fictional, Speculative and Critical Futures
- Augmented Cities and Communities
- Human-Nature Interaction
- Data for Good
- Dark Sides of Information Technology Use
- Robots and AI in Everyday Life
- Technology in Education
- Accessibility in the Digital Society
In addition, a general track welcomes submissions that share methodological understanding and practices on how to design, develop, implement and evaluate interactive computing systems and services for human use. The submitted papers should focus on phenomena related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI): human factors and requirements, usability and ergonomics, privacy, ethics and trustworthiness of technologies as well as the exploration of other factors involved (e.g., sociological and psychological factors).
We welcome full papers, workshops, posters, demos, and doctoral consortium submissions.
