  • Pre-CHI Day 2026

    Pre-CHI
    Stirling Court Hotel University of Stirling, Airthrey Rd, Stirling
    Hybrid Event

    The ACM CHI conference is the premier publication venue in the field of HCI, and Scotland-based researchers are contributing extensively to the programme for the 2026 conference which will be held in Barcelona, Spain in mid-April. The Pre-CHI Day is a chance for the Scottish HCI community to see some of the world-leading research going on across Scotland, and allow those not travelling to Spain to talk to authors first-hand and hear about their work. The event will be hybrid, and virtual attendance and virtual presentation will both be supported. We expect a mixed audience, including researchers of the Scottish HCI community as well as interested students, designers, industry, practitioners etc., as well as newcomers to the field of HCI.

  • SICSA Seminar – Dr Carl Strathearn presents AI-driven Humanoid Robots for Education

    Education Seminar
    Merchiston Campus, Edinburgh Napier University 10 Colinton Road, Edinburgh
    Hybrid Event

    AI-driven Humanoid Robots for Education: Insights from UK Rapid Technology Assessments with Dr Carl Strathearn Abstract: AI-driven humanoid robots are gradually moving out of laboratories and into factories around the world. However, more challenging domains such as education, domestic environments, and healthcare are significantly more unpredictable and difficult to evaluate in terms of effectiveness, social interaction, and ...

    AI + Data Science Seminar
    Virtual Event

    Register to attend Join us on Thursday, 30 April for an AI & Data Science Seminar. Dr Hazrat Ali of University of Stirling presents  Generative AI for Medical Computer Vision Abstract Before synthetic data became popular, data scarcity was considered a major bottleneck in training AI (deep learning) models for medical imaging. Generative AI enabled the AI research ... Read more

  • SCONE Meeting

    SCONE
    Informatics Forum School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh

    SCONE is the SCOttish Networking Event – an informal gathering of networking and systems researchers in and around Scotland. The goal of these meetings is to foster interaction between researchers from our various institutions. Each meeting will take place over the course of an afternoon, and feature:

    talks from PhD students
    talks from faculty, postdocs and industrial researchers
    discussions of possible funding opportunities
    food and drink

  • SICSA Seminar – Dr Abd Alsattar Ardati presents Teaching Product Judgement

    Education Seminar
    Jack Cole Building, University of St Andrews St Andrews
    Hybrid Event

    Software engineering students are often well prepared to think about implementation and delivery, but less often asked to reason about value, prioritisation, uncertainty, and strategic trade-offs. In this talk, I will present the pedagogical design of CS5034, a Master's-level module in Software Product and Project Management at the University of St Andrews, and reflect on how it was used to reshape the student experience around product judgement rather than delivery alone.

  • Scottish Argumentation Day 2026

    University of Dundee

    Scotland has a particularly high concentration of research groups working in the AI subfield of computational argumentation. Scottish Argumentation Day has previously been attended by researchers based both in Scotland and further afield, and has enabled the Scottish argumentation community to present their work in an informal setting, share feedback, and strengthen professional links. SAD began with Aberdeen 2011, and most recently took place in Edinburgh 2024.

    In continuing this series, our aim is threefold: (i) enable Scottish argumentation researchers, and especially PhD students, to mutually present their work; (ii) affirm Scottish argumentation research as a recognisable presence; (iii) provide a concrete opportunity for Scottish researchers to network.

  • RetroEVAL2026: Symposium on Natural Language Generation Evaluations

    University of Aberdeen

    Evaluation in the field of Natural Language Generation (NLG) has changed considerably over the past several decades. This special symposium in honour of Prof. Ehud Reiter’s retirement provides a forum for academic and industry researchers to look back on the topic of how evaluations in the field of NLG have changed and to explore unaddressed ...

  • S3CIX 2026 – Symposium and Summer School on Computational Interaction

    Sir Alwyn Williams Building, University of Glasgow 18 Lilybank Gardens, Glasgow, United Kingdom

    Registration for the 10th Symposium and Summer School on Computational Interaction will open 1 February and close 14 March 2026.

    View programme, event details and registration process at S³CIX 2026.

    This year S³CIX is expanding from a Summer School format to also include a 4 day long academic Symposium. We anticipate about 30 students and 40 academics and invited speakers to attend. There will also be two workshops.

    Computational interaction often involves elements from machine learning, signal processing, information theory, optimisation, inference, control theory and formal modelling.
