HEAd’22 will be held on 14-17 June 2022 in Valencia as a hybrid conference: face-to-face and virtual. Full paper submission deadline is 4 February 2022.

The conference organizing committee is so happy to see you again!

We are currently preparing the website for HEAd’22. It will be ready soon 🙂

The OCS submission system is working again after the problems we experienced for some hours.

Apologies for the inconveniences.

We are glad to announce that the publication including all HEAd’21 papers is already available! Look at: HEAd’21 Proceedings

We would like to announce the list of papers that have been nominated as candidates for the Best Paper Award. The nominated papers were selected based on their review scores.

The final program with all the regular, non-linear and keynote sessions, has been published as a single PDF file. We hope you enjoy it!

The conference dates are approaching! An amazing conference program is prepared for near 200 participants.

We have just published the instructions for participating in the conference, virtual for the first time!

Virtual conferences are not as intuitive as the traditional ones, so we need to get prepared for it. A test session is scheduled on June 1st for getting familiar with the platforms and play around.

Instructions are classified according to the session type:

• Plenary sessions
• Regular sessions
• Non-linear sessions
• Coffee breaks

Click here to access the detailed instructions. Please, read them carefully to have a great HEAd’20 experience!

The worldwide situation regarding COVID-19 is currently affecting all travel plans around the globe. Although we hope the situation gets better in June, the current uncertainty prevents us from organizing HEAd in the traditional format.

Therefore, the organizing committee has decided to organize it as an online event, to be held in the same dates, 3-5 June. It will have the same format as the traditional ones (keynotes, regular sessions, opening and closing, etc.) to be the usual platform for networking, interaction and discussion.
