Our integrated members, Maria Beatriz Carmo, Ana Paula Cláudio, and Nuno Garcia are part of the 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA’22) organization, which takes place in Faro, September, 6-9, 2022.

IVA 2022 aims to showcase cutting-edge research on the design, application, and evaluation of IVAs, as well as the basic research underlying the technology that supports human-agent interaction such as social perception, dialog modeling, and social behavior planning. We also welcome submissions on central theoretical issues, uses of virtual agents in psychological research, and showcases of working applications.
