TFG/TFM Award Rules

Goal

AIPO announces the 10th edition of the competition to promote research and innovation in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (IPO). Students are invited to present their final degree projects (TFG) and master’s projects (TFM) that contribute to the advancement and dissemination in this field.

Topics

Papers should focus on the IPO and may address topics such as usability, user experience, accessibility, interactive systems design, interactive art, virtual and augmented reality, human-robot interaction, video games, interaction hardware, and other topics related to the IPO in domains such as psychology, ethics, and the gender gap.

Target Audience

The works may come from any university degree, and may be submitted by students from both Spain and Latin America who have completed their Bachelor’s or Master’s studies during the academic year 2023-24 or 2024-25 (1st semester = before 28-02-2025). It is essential that the works submitted are related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Co-authored works will be accepted, limiting authorship to a maximum of two authors per work.

Awards

A prize of 250 euros will be awarded for the best Final Degree Project and another prize of 350 euros for the best Final Master’s Project. In both cases, the registration fees for the Interacción 2025 Congress will be covered (for TFGs or TFMs completed by more than one student, free registration will only be for one of them.).
In addition, special mentions may be awarded in both categories, TFG and TFM, which will also cover the registration fees for the Interacción 2025 Congress.
