20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025) : Last Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals

*** Last Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals ***

20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025)

May 5-7, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus

https://2025.persuasivetech.org



In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human
behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems,
studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and
information processing), is paramount.

Persuasive Technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design,
development and evaluation of interactive technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes
and/or behaviors through persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research
community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health and sustainability
by supporting people in setting and achieving their own goals, thus helping them change their
behavior.

The 2025 conference will be hosted in Limassol, Cyprus at the 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina.
The previous successful conferences have been organized in Wollongong, Limassol, Eindhoven,
Stanford, Oulu, Claremont, Copenhagen, Columbus, Linköping, Sydney, Padua, Chicago,
Salzburg, Amsterdam, and Waterloo. The conference series seeks to bring together researchers
and practitioners from industry and academia working with various topics of persuasive
technology.

Workshops are meant to gather a number of people to work interactively on an emerging topic
and exchange ideas. Tutorials are intended to help people attending the conference organize a
related scientific meeting on a specific topic or instruct on a specific practice. Approved
workshops and tutorials will be announced on the conference website. Tutorials and workshops
will take place during a half- or full-day session before the conference. If you want to organize
a workshop, please submit a proposal as a maximum 4-page description in Springer LNCS
format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines), including a description of the topic, motivation, organization (including the list of
organizing members, how the organizers will form a program committee, and duration of the
workshop, expected outcome, and supporting materials (if applicable).

Workshop and tutorial descriptions will be included in the adjunct conference proceedings
(CEUR Workshop Proceedings) https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html. Workshop organisers
must commit to creating their Call for Papers and their website within one week of the
notification.

Please email your proposal by December 01, 2024, to the workshop chairs: Wenzhen Xu
(wenzhen.xu AT r.hit-u.ac.jp), Rhoda Abadia (Rhoda.Abadia AT unisa.edu.au), and Kaoru Sumi
(kaoru.sumi AT acm.org).

The organizing committee will review the proposals and communicate the results by December
15, 2024.
