    Special Topic: Creative technologiesCreative technologies connects engineering with other creative fields and disciplines. It can involve using technology in creative processes, reflecting on the use and misuse of technology in social contexts, and repurposing technology beyond what it was originally built for. The core idea is that technology is not stand-alone.

Submission Information

We are soliciting papers describing original research. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a one-page abstract in PDF format. Each accepted abstract will lead to either a poster or an oral presentation with discussion. Upon request by the authors, a full paper or the abstract (as chosen by the authors) may appear in online proceedings. The authors can also indicate NOT to publish their paper in the proceedings. Work under review elsewhere can be submitted, provided that overlap is clearly documented.

Grants

Three grants are available for MSc students who have an accepted paper at the symposium. Each grant consists of the symposium registration fee and a contribution towards accommodation costs. The authors of each accepted paper may request at most one grant per paper. If interested, check the corresponding box in the registration form.

Awards

The symposium features a Best Student Paper Award, and a Best Student Presentation Award. Both will be given during the Award Ceremony at the end of the symposium. This year creative makers will give an award to the most creative submission as part of the special topic and theme this year.
