Workshop 2026
Official ICMI 2026 Workshop – October
2026 (in person)
The GENEA (Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents) Workshop 2026 aims to
bring together
researchers from diverse disciplines working on different aspects of non-verbal behaviour generation,
facilitating
discussions on advancing both generation techniques and evaluation methodologies.
We invite contributions from fields such as human-computer interaction, machine learning, multimedia,
robotics, computer
graphics, and social sciences. This is the seventh installment of the GENEA Workshop,

Call for papers
Comming Soon!
We are currently preparing our Call for Papers and will update this section shortly with all the details. We look forward to receiving your paper submissions. Stay tuned for updates!
Reproducibility Award
Reproducibility is a cornerstone of the scientific method. Lack of reproducibility is a serious issue in contemporary research which we want to address at our workshop. To encourage authors to make their papers reproducible, and to reward the effort that reproducibility requires, we are introducing the GENEA Workshop Reproducibility Award. All short and long papers presented at the GENEA Workshop will be eligible for this award. Please note that it is the camera-ready version of the paper which will be evaluated for the reward.The award is awarded to the paper with the greatest degree of reproducibility. The assessment criteria include:
- ease of reproduction (ideal: just works, if there is code - it is well documented and we can run it)
- extent (ideal: all results can be verified)
- data accessibility (ideal: all data used is publicly available)
