WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The twelfth annual Human-Robot Interaction Pioneers Workshop will be held in Vienna, Austria on Monday, March 6, 2017 in conjunction with the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction.

Pioneers seeks to foster creativity and collaboration surrounding key challenges in human-robot interaction and empower students early in their academic careers. Each year, the workshop brings together a cohort of the world's top student researchers and provides the opportunity for students to present and discuss their work with distinguished student peers and senior scholars in the field.

Pioneers is a premiere forum for graduate students in HRI, thus we invite students at any stage of their academic career to consider applying. To facilitate attendance, we expect to provide financial support to accepted students to help mitigate the costs of the workshop and main conference.

* Masters students, such as those enrolled in an MS/PhD or those continuing onto a PhD program, are welcome to apply.

Further details, including templates, are now available on the workshop website athttp://www.hripioneers.info/hri17/index.html

The application process will be open until November 4, 2016.

The HRI Pioneers Workshop will follow a review process in which submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors including:
- the quality of the submission (blind review),
- the expected benefits of the workshop for the applicant’s PhD research,
and
- the applicant’s contribution to the diversity of topics, backgrounds, and institutions.

We hope to achieve a diversity of research topics, disciplinary backgrounds, methodological approaches, and home institutions. As such, we do not expect more than two students to be invited per institution. In
addition, we especially encourage underrepresented minorities and women to apply.

PUBLICATION & ATTENDANCE

All authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend the Pioneers Workshop and the main conference poster session, at which they will present their work as a poster.

A detailed program for the workshop and the participation guidelines for the poster session will be available after the camera-ready deadline.
