Important dates:
Extended deadline for submissions 17th of May
Notification of review outcome 12th of June
Deadline for revised submissions 30th of June
Note for authors: Abstract length and word count
The maximum length of the abstract is 500 words / approximately one page.
Please note that the word count applies only to the main body text of the abstract. Title, author names, affiliations, and references (if included) are not counted toward the 500-word / one page limit.
The following conference sub-themes and suggested topics are intended to guide and inspire your submissions:
Human Performance and Well-being in Complex Systems
You are invited to address the core EHF mission of optimizing human well-being and overall system performance, with an emphasis on sectors with strong Nordic traditions. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Human Factors in Maritime and Offshore Safety
- Ergonomics in Forestry, Agriculture, and Primary Industries
- Physical and Cognitive Ergonomics for Extreme Environments
- Application of EHF to Enhance Patient and Provider Safety
- Human Performance in Advanced Transportation Systems
- Human-Centric Design for Advanced Manufacturing and Industry 5.0
Human-Centred AI and Automation
We invite you to address the cognitive and organizational domains of Ergonomics and Human Factors by exploring the design, implementation, and evaluation of intelligent systems to ensure they are effective, trustworthy, and enhance human capability. Submissions are invited in the following and neighboring topics:
- EHF Methods for Evaluating Human-AI Teaming
- Human-Centered Evaluation of AI Trust and Explainability
- Cognitive Task Analysis for Complex Data-driven Systems
- Human Factors in Data Annotation and Curation
- Mitigating Automation Bias in Critical Decision Support
Bridging Research and Practice through Participation
Reflecting the role of Ergonomics and Human Factors as an applied profession and the strong tradition of collaboration, you are invited to address the challenge of translating knowledge into action. We invite submissions that successfully bridge the EHF research-practice gap in topics such as:
- Application of Co-Design in EHF
- Return on Investment Methodologies for EHF Programs
- Models for EHF Researcher and Practitioner Collaboration
- Development and Evaluation of Usable EHF Tools for Practitioners
- Macroergonomic Strategies for Integrating EHF in Organizations
Ergonomics for a Sustainable and Equitable Society
In line with the mission to improve quality of life, we invite you to explore the application of the EHF toolkit to address pressing societal issues, reflecting global values of sustainability and social equity. Submissions are therefore welcome in the following and adjacent topics:
- Ergonomics Contributions to Sustainable Work Systems
- Human Factors in Public Health and Healthcare Systems
- Ergonomics for Inclusive Design and Vulnerable Populations
- Macroergonomics for Developing Regions and Technology Transfer
- Human Factors in the Design of the Built Environment
Scientific Foundations and Professional Practice in EHF
You are invited to engage in a constructive dialogue on the scientific foundations, methods, and educational pathways needed to ensure the continued vitality of Ergonomics and Human Factors. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Defining the Theoretical Core and Scientific Boundaries of EHF
- Methodological Rigor, Validity, and Reliability in Applied EHF Research
- Curriculum Innovation for Future EHF Professional Competencies
Submissions are invited for research and practice abstracts, posters, and proposals for thematic sessions and workshops. All submissions will undergo a peer review process. Accepted submissions presented at the conference will be eligible for submission to a special issue in indexed EHF journal (more information coming soon). An option to submit a 6 to 8 pages full paper for the conference proceedings is available. Please go to Publication routes for more information.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to welcoming you to a conference that we believe will be both stimulating and essential for the future of Ergonomics and Human Factors.
