The goal of the DEI 2025 workshop is to provide a forum to share experiences and research insights on identifying, addressing, and integrating DEI aspects in HRI, including robot design, applications, research methods, and the community.

Regular Presentation - share experiences and research insights on identifying, addressing, and integrating DEI aspects in HRI, including robot design, applications, research methods, and the community.

DEI Student Pioneers panel - empower and provide a space for students whose research addresses DEI issues in HRI to engage in community conversations and receive feedback. This opportunity focuses on supporting students in their research and general careers.


Submission Guidelines

Regular Presentation - We invite authors to submit extended abstracts (up to 2 pages, excluding references) or short papers (up to 4 pages, excluding references) on a range of topics relevant to these questions and to DEI in HRI in general. Submissions may present work-in-progress research, position papers, critical essays, and summaries of already published research from all areas of HRI. Since we hope to learn from other fields of knowledge and form new connections with related research communities, we also welcome submissions from researchers outside the HRI community.

DEI Student Pioneers panel - We invite DEI students to submit a short abstract  (500 words) describing your research/project. We also welcome submissions from researchers outside the HRI community to learn from other fields of knowledge and form new connections with related research communities.

Authors should submit their papers on EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=deihri2025).

Papers should be submitted in PDF format and conform to IEEE Proceedings specifications (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Overleaf users can access the template directly via the following link - https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/ieee-official.

Submissions will be evaluated according to their fit to the workshop theme, and their adherence to the scientific standards of the discipline of origin. The workshop proceedings will be made publicly available on our website. Paper acceptance requires that at least one author registers for and presents at the workshop, virtually or in person.
