Go to Submission site<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The 28th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026) will be held in Napoli, Italy. ICMI is the premier international forum for advancing research at the intersection of multimodal artificial intelligence (AI)<\/strong> and social interaction<\/strong> to create technically innovative, effective, and human-centered multimodal interactive systems. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature, bringing together research in AI, multimodal data processing, and human-human interaction to bridge behavioral understanding with technology, posing an eye towards impactful applications that benefit people and society.<\/p>\n Novelty will be evaluated along two dimensions: scientific novelty and technical novelty. Accepted papers at ICMI 2026 must demonstrate novelty in at least one of these two dimensions.<\/p>\n The theme of this year’s conference is \u201cContext and Cultural Awareness for Multimodal Interaction\u201d<\/strong>, to explore how context and cultural factors influence multimodal interaction systems, including their design, implementation, and evaluation. We welcome papers that address the integration of contextual understanding, such as environmental, social, and emotional factors, into multimodal interaction systems. We also encourage contributions that explore cultural considerations in the development and deployment of interactive technologies.<\/p>\n Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n Commitment to ethical conduct is mandatory, and submissions must adhere to ethical standards, in particular when human-derived data are employed. Authors are encouraged to consult the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (<\/span>https:\/\/ethics.acm.org\/<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n ACMs New Open Access Publishing Model. Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs)<\/a>. With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%).<\/p>\n Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open<\/a> and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy<\/a>. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.<\/p>\n Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:<\/p>\n This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.<\/p>\n This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026, including ICMI.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Call for Papers Go to Submission site The 28th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026) will be held in Napoli, Italy.
