The Fourth European Tangible Interaction Studio (ETIS 2020) gathers young European researchers in the field of tangible interaction, to get them in touch with internationally renowned researchers and to establish networks for their future.
This summer school is a unique opportunity to train in the field of tangible interaction, enjoy practical activities for designing and developing tangible user interfaces and to discuss your research with professors and other young researchers.

ETIS encourages the participation of researchers with different backgrounds from both academic and applied/industrial research. We aim to provide participants with insights for applied research possibilities, in order to bring tangible interaction principles out of the lab, in the everyday use.

ETIS 2020 is hosted by the Santa Chiara Lab of the University of Siena (Italy).


ETIS invites papers and workshop proposals about tangible user interface including mixed/augmented reality, organic user interfaces, or physical computing.
We welcome submissions in the form of theoretical foundations and frameworks of TUI; design guidelines and methods; prototypes, tools and toolkits for TUI; design cases, and TUI applications in different domains including, but not limiting to:
• Food
• Education
• Cultural Heritage
• Industry 4.0
• Health
Short papers (2-4 pages including references) for oral presentation and workshop proposals have to be submitted via Easychair.
Submitted papers will be reviewed by experts and selected by relevance with the proposed topics, quality of research, and potential to provoke discussions during the meeting.

ETIS proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-ws.org, the free open-access publication service for scientific conferences and workshops.

BEST PAPER AWARD
ETIS 2020 is proud to announce the Best Paper Award sponsored by the MDPI Journal Future Internet with a 350 CHF honorarium and the publication of an extended version of the paper in a special issue that will be edited after the event.
The winner will be selected by the ETIS scientific committee based on the paper’s novelty and quality of the research.
The awarded winner will be announced during the ETIS closing session.
