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.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES & REVIEW PROCESS

Graduate students pursuing a PhD degree in a field related
to human-robot interaction, should submit the following
materials:

1. Extended abstract – an anonymized two-page description
of the applicant’s past, current, or proposed work. In
particular, it should cover:

Further details, including templates, are now available on
the workshop website at
http://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.
