CRI23 is an international conference organised by

The final programme is available here

 

The Conference will host research contributions on child-robot interaction, focusing on the methodologies, the technologies, the psycho-pedagogical applications, the ethical ramifications, and the philosophical, social, and cultural presuppositions and implications of this emerging research area. It is organized by the University of Milano-Bicocca, INDIRE, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Yunik. It will host peer-reviewed contributions, plenary talks by outstanding scholars in the field, and symposia.

The official language of the conference is English.
