Re: Workshop: Designing Meaningful Industrial Work for Hybrid Human-Technology Environments

Call for workshop participation in the ECCE 2025 conference: Designing Meaningful Industrial Work for Hybrid Human-Technology Environments 7 October 2025, Tallinn, Estonia We are inviting contributions to an interactive workshop that will explore how cognitive ergonomics and human-centered design can enhance the meaningfulness of work in hybrid environments where humans collaborate with automation, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and other suitable technologies. Important dates: * Deadline for position papers: 31 July 2025 * Notification to participants will be sent on 15 August 2025 * Workshop: 7 October 2025. Tallinn University, Estonia The workshop will be held as part of ECCE 2025 conference. The workshop will include position paper talks / sharing session, interactive discussions, short expert talks, collaborative activity, and future directions or joint paper collaboration. The workshop aims to discuss human-centered, cognitively ergonomic, and meaningful industrial work in hybrid environments with a particular focus on enhancing worker motivation, competence, and well-being, while attracting younger generations of workers. In this workshop, we aim to explore topics including (but not limited to): * Cognitive ergonomics and ergonomic interventions in industrial work in hybrid environments * Operating and designing of human-centred AI in industry * Work in hybrid human-technology-AI teams in industry * Attractive workplaces in industry for younger generations * Meaningfulness in industrial work * Participatory design and stakeholder engagement for industrial hybrid work environments * Job crafting in industrial hybrid environments We invite position papers of 2-4 pages, following the single-column ACM Word<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-article-with-microsoft-word> / LaTeX<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/preparing-your-article-with-latex> template. Papers should be submitted to the following workshop organisers by the deadline to: Mari Myllylä (mari.t.myllyla@jyu.fi) and Anna Viljakainen (anna.viljakainen@aalto.fi). Position papers will be reviewed by the workshop co-organisers. Main criteria are relevance with respect to the theme of the workshop and scientific quality. Information about the acceptance of position papers and approval for participation will be sent to the participants by e-mail. In the e-mail, the accepted participants are informed about the specific themes and asked to choose e.g. 3 of the most interesting themes they would like to participate in the workshop group work. The workshop organizers will then select the most popular themes to be discussed during the workshop’s afternoon session.
