It promotes interdisciplinary collaboration by uniting specialists from diverse fields—such as computer science, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, history (including the histories of science and art), education research, and more—to share insights on both the theory and practical uses of diagrams. Diagrams 2026 will feature three dedicated special tracks: Main, Philosophy and Psychology and Education. Submissions whose primary research contribution aligns with these themes are encouraged to be directed to the relevant track, each overseen by its own program committee. Details of the theme and program committees will be provided in the call for each track. The conference program will include presentations of accepted papers, posters, and abstracts, as well as a graduate symposium, workshops, and tutorials. At least one author of every accepted submission is expected to attend the conference to present their work and engage with questions from participants.

[CfP] AVI 2026: Advanced Visual Interfaces - 1st Call for Long and Short Papers
by Menendez Blanco Maria 26 Oct '25

26 Oct '25

18th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI) 2026 Interactive Creativity: Agencies, Interfaces, and Ethics ======================================== 8-12 June 2026 Venice, Italy http://unive.it/avi2026 In-Cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB ======================================== IMPORTANT DATES Long and Short Papers: * Abstract submission: January 18, 2026 * Paper submission: January 25, 2026 (all deadlines are 23:59, AoE) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LONG AND SHORT RESEARCH PAPERS We invite submissions of high-quality original research papers that explore the intersections of Advanced Visual Interfaces and Human-Computer Interaction in general. We are particularly interested in work addressing creativity from multiple critical perspectives, including agency, interfaces, and ethics, in relation to the themes and topics of AVI 2026. Both long and short submissions must describe original, unpublished research. All papers will undergo rigorous peer review by a distinguished international panel of experts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION FORMAT Long and short papers must be anonymized, removing information (such as authorship, acknowledgments, name of an application, software, or project) that can suggest the authors' identity. Citation to authors' previous work should not be anonymous and should be in third person in the text, e.g., "As described by [10]" and not "As described in our previous work [10]". All the papers mentioned above require online submission. Specific information concerning the submission (e.g., submission format, proceeding specifications) will be made available on the AVI website. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Since its first edition in 1992, AVI has become an influential space for encounters among scholars and practitioners interested in interfaces, interactions, and experiences. Rooted in pioneering research on visual interfaces characterized by a distinctive attention to the human factor, the conference has evolved across the different waves of Human-Computer Interaction. It has addressed the pragmatic and hedonic needs of heterogeneous groups of users up to the current challenge of self-actualization. Creativity is a core behavior that leads to the realization of a person’s full potential, and the explosion of generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges to human creativity. They address fundamental issues related to agencies, interfaces, and ethics. AVI 2026 will take place in San Servolo, a small island in Venice. This delicate and fragile ecosystem provides the ideal venue for reflecting, reframing, and speculating about creative solutions to more sustainable, inclusive and rewarding technological futures. AVI is an International Conference considering the nationality of participants, authors, and organizing committees. However, it has always taken place in Italy, thus complementing a strong and diverse research program with carefully selected cultural and social activities alongside a distinct sense of hospitality and conviviality. The conference is held under the patronage of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. We look forward to your participation in AVI 2026!
