We are pleased to announce that the International Symposium on Social Robots and Ethical Design (iSRED), chaired by Associate Professor Weng (Cross-Appointment, Kyushu University Institute for Advanced Study), is now accepting submissions.

 

Starting in 2024, the annual IAS-FRIS Symposium on Social Robots and Ethical Design, a collaboration between the Institute for Advanced Study, Kyushu University and the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Tohoku University, will be held with the participation of strategic partners such as the Research Center for Digital Humanities at National Taiwan University, the Centre for Law and Technology (LawTech) at the University of Hong Kong, and the Graduate School of Data Science at Seoul National University. We believe that this symposium should extend beyond its locations in Fukuoka and Sendai and focus on closer exchanges with other universities in East Asia. After careful consideration, we have decided to change the name of the conference to the International Symposium on Social Robots and Ethical Design (iSRED) and to change from an invitation-only conference to a CFP open call for papers conference.
