________________________________________________

Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA) Annual Conference is the premier international event for interdisciplinary research on the design, application, and evaluation of Virtual Agents with social interaction capabilities.

IVA 2025, the 25th Annual Conference, will be held in Berlin, Germany, September 16-19, 2025.

IVAs are interactive characters that exhibit human-like capabilities, including communicating using natural human modalities such as facial expressions, speech, and gestures. IVAs are also capable of real-time perception, cognition, emotion, and action that allow them to participate in dynamic social interactions.

IVA 2025 aims to showcase cutting-edge research on the design, application, and evaluation of IVAs, as well as the basic research underlying the technology that supports human-agent interaction, such as social perception, dialog modeling, and social behavior planning. We also welcome submissions on central theoretical issues, uses of virtual agents in psychological research and showcases of working applications.

Aesthetics and Culture: This year’s theme explores how exploiting aesthetic principles and cultural nuances for Socially Interactive Agents fosters user trust, comfort, and willingness to engage. It also examines how culturally informed design cues reduce barriers and promote more intuitive, socially meaningful human-machine collaboration.

IVA 2025 offers the following submission tracks:

Full papers: 4 to 8 pages (not including references): https://iva.acm.org/2025/call-for-papers
Posters: 2 to 3 pages (not including references): https://iva.acm.org/2025/call-for-posters
Demo & Artwork: 2 pages + visuals: https://iva.acm.org/2025/call-for-demos
All submissions will be double-blind peer-reviewed by expert reviewers. All accepted full-paper submissions will be presented orally and published in the proceedings.

Interdisciplinary Format

IVA is a highly interdisciplinary conference that recognizes varying publication norms across disciplines. For instance, conference publications are standard in Computer Science, while journal publications prevail in Psychology. To promote trans-disciplinary interaction, authors can decide whether their accepted full paper with the supplemental material will be included in the ACM Digital Library or not.
