Deadline for full papers, demonstrations, and workshops submissions: July 25, 2022

We are very pleased to announce that the 25th International Academic Mindtrek conference will take place between the 16th and 18th November 2022. We are hoping to host a hybrid event in Tampere, Finland with professional video streaming.

The conference will welcome proposals for full papers, workshops, demonstrations and poster presentations on a variety of topics (see tracks below) as well as a Doctoral Consortium.

The International Academic Mindtrek has been for several years an exciting meeting place where researchers, experts and thinkers present results from their latest works regarding the development of novel technology, media and digital culture for the society of tomorrow.

Mindtrek brings together people not only from various fields and domains but also from different sectors: from companies, startups, academia and various governmental institutions. This makes Mindtrek the perfect opportunity for advancing research results towards practical utilization by the industry, as well as getting out-of-the-box research ideas based on interaction with practitioners.

Academic Mindtrek 2022 welcomes all scientific contributions that present relevant and actual studies of today that may shape the way we interact with 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 prestigious international partners. This collaboration focuses Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research and development and in particular around several key areas, organized in the conference as specific Tracks.
