Academic Mindtrek is a meeting place where researchers, experts, students, 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.

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

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 workshop, we provide space for either half-day or full-day workshops.

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

Demonstration proposals

Interactive experience demonstration proposals should be either short papers (2-4 pages long) or full papers (6-10 pages) and include:

a) a description and motivation of the interactive experience demonstration;

b) general architecture of the interactive experience demonstration;

c) description of the main features of the demonstration;

d) a brief comparison with other existing related interactive experience demonstrations;

e) audiovisual materials to illustrate the interactive experience demonstration (a poster or a roll-up and other material on a laptop, for example);

f) the type of license (if applicable),

g) the Internet address of the interactive experience demonstration (if applicable), and

h) description of the scientific basis behind the interactive experience demonstration (e.g., a regular paper presentation).

It is strongly recommended that the authors make a video of the interactive experience demonstration available on the Internet to accompany the article submission.[/ppb_text]

Attendees have the possibility to exhibit their posters on a A0 poster wall at the conference.

New: Students’ Posters

This year, students are encouraged to submit poster proposals about, e.g., their practical course assignment work or thesis work. The proposals should be prepared on the same way as the ordinary poster proposals, i.e. a paper between 2-4 pages. The papers need to describe the topic and focus on the work, some references, the methodology, findings and a short discussion/conclusion/lessons learned. One author of the accepted poster has a possibility to present the poster and a possible demo at the conference by enrolling as a student volunteer. This is a great opportunity to show others your great work done on your courses, and get some practise about giving a presentation on an international academic forum.[/ppb_header]
