HRI is a highly selective conference which aims to showcase the very best HRI research. It has interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary roots in robotics, social psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence, engineering, and many other disciplines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cfp-p\">Each year, the HRI conference highlights a particular theme. For HRI 2027, the theme is <strong>&#8220;Innovative HRI&#8221;<\/strong>. We encourage tutorial and workshop proposals to build upon this theme, whether by topic, structure, or ways to engage participants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cfp-p\">Organisers may propose half-day or full-day workshops. We encourage organizers to consider keeping their workshops to a half-day so that we can accept more workshop proposals. Organisers must commit that at least one organiser will attend in person.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column cfp-contact\">\n<h2 class=\"cfp-h2\">Workshops<\/h2>\n<p class=\"cfp-p\">Workshops are an opportunity for participants to meet other members of the HRI community, to discuss problems and to present their ideas around a common topic. The workshops can be half-day or full-day, and can cover any topic relevant to HRI research, design, methodologies, or education. Because there is limited space at the venue and we hope to be able to accept as many workshops as possible, we encourage authors to consider proposing half-day workshops. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cfp-h3\">The responsibilities of workshop organizers include:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"cfp-list\">\n<li>Setting up a website for the workshop that will be linked to the HRI 2027 website<\/li>\n<li>Publicizing the workshop and soliciting position papers from potential participants<\/li>\n<li>Selecting workshop participants based on the quality of their position papers, which outline the submitters&#8217; views on the workshop topic and the reasons for submitters&#8217; interest<\/li>\n<li>Running the in-person workshop at the conference<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, supporting remote participant attendance for a hybrid format (noting that no conference support will be available for this)<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, compiling workshop proceedings and\/or finding opportunities for formal publication of extended versions of position papers after the workshop<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, soliciting and coordinating the appearance of invited speakers at the workshop. Organizers who plan on inviting speakers to their tutorial or workshop are encouraged to invite a diverse set of speakers.<\/li>\n<li>Preparing a one-page summary of the workshop proposal for archival purposes, according to ACM guidelines (the format of this will differ from the workshop proposal submission; details will be shared with authors of accepted proposals)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"cfp-h3\">Please submit the following information (up to 3 pages including references):<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"cfp-list\">\n<li>Title of workshop<\/li>\n<li>Organizer(s), including contact information and short CVs<\/li>\n<li>Overview of the workshop including schedule, format, and types of activities (e.g., whole-group discussions, break-out sessions, position paper presentations, etc.) \u2013 must include whether this is a half-day or full-day workshop, and, if full, a justification<\/li>\n<li>Target audience or prerequisites<\/li>\n<li>If feasible, the number of expected participants (e.g. if this is a recurring workshop, or builds on a previous event) and\/or any limits in terms of maximum number of participants (e.g. for group activities)<\/li>\n<li>Approach for recruiting participants<\/li>\n<li>Plan for documenting the workshop<\/li>\n<li>A 150\u2013250 word abstract suitable for advertising the workshop in HRI 2027<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column cfp-contact\">\n<h2 class=\"cfp-h2\">Tutorials<\/h2>\n<p class=\"cfp-p\">Tutorials are an opportunity for dissemination of community knowledge, where participants can get &#8220;up to speed&#8221; on important topics for the field. Example topics could be state-of-the-art overviews of particular HRI areas, hands-on programming activities with particular robot\/software APIs, or design\/research and data analysis methods. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cfp-h3\">The responsibilities of tutorial organizers include:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"cfp-list\">\n<li>Setting up a website for the tutorial that will be linked to the HRI 2027 website<\/li>\n<li>Publicising the tutorial<\/li>\n<li>Running the in-person tutorial at the conference<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, supporting remote participant attendance for a hybrid format (noting that no conference support will be available for this)<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, compiling tutorial proceedings after the workshop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"cfp-h3\">Please submit the following information (up to 3 pages including references):<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"cfp-list\">\n<li>Title of tutorial<\/li>\n<li>Motivation or background<\/li>\n<li>Overview of tutorial including topics covered and schedule<\/li>\n<li>Target audience or prerequisite<\/li>\n<li>Any limits in terms of maximum number of participants (e.g. for group activities)<\/li>\n<li>Tutorial speaker(s), including biosketches\/short CVs<\/li>\n<li>Links and references relevant to the tutorial<\/li>\n<li>A 150\u2013250 word abstract suitable for advertising the tutorial at HRI 2027<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"cfp-h2\">Submission Details<\/h2>\n<p class=\"cfp-p\">Workshop and tutorial proposals should be no longer than 3 pages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cfp-p\">Proposals must be submitted in PDF format and conform to IEEE Proceedings specifications.
