CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, DEMOS & WORKSHOPS
We are pleased to invite you to the 22nd International Academic Mindtrek conference, 10th to 11st October 2018. Academic Mindtrek is a meeting place where researchers, experts and thinkers present results from their latest work regarding the development of novel technology, media and digital culture for the society of tomorrow.
Academic Mindtrek is part of the renowned Mindtrek business conference. 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 the interaction with practitioners.
Mindtrek events are accessible for the Academic Mindtrek attendees, and vice versa.
The academic conference features the following major themes:
Human-computer interaction (HCI)
Developer experience
Games and gamification
Virtual, augmented and mixed reality
Collaboration, literacies and multimedia technologies in education Crowdsourcing and citizen participation Open data and data science New forms of journalism and media Theatre, performance and media Enhancing work in socio-technological environments
We are especially enthusiastic about applied research and papers related to practical work.
