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.
CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS
Academic Mindtrek is organized in cooperation with ACM SIGMM, and ACM
SIGCHI. The conference proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital
Library, which includes full papers, posters, workshop proposals and
demonstration proposals. All papers should follow the style guidelines of
the conference (more information under submission guidelines). In the
Finnish classification of publication forums, Academic Mindtrek proceedings
are classified as Jufo 1.
FULL PAPER PROPOSALS
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and double-blinded. Therefore, please
remove any information that could give an indication of the authorship. The
papers should contain 6-10 pages, including the list of references.

Workshop proposals should be papers between 2-4 pages long. We welcome you
to suggest workshops as part of the Academic Mindtrek. Workshop proposals
should also include the organizing committee, a description of the theme and
goals of the workshop, a short CV of organizers, duration, and the schedule.
Workshop organizers can create their own proceedings of the accepted
position papers. Depending on the attached number of papers for each

Previous examples include e.g. a workshop on eLearning, theatre methods for
requirements elicitation, among others.
