After a few years of hibernation, we are happy to announce that the Image Schema Day (ISD6) is returning in its sixth reincarnation: at a new venue, with new research, but on the same topic.

The image schema day is primarily a networking event that invites researchers on image schemas and related notions from a broad range of scientific disciplines to present their research and discuss ideas for future projects. Unlike many other workshops focused on different topics in one discipline or using one methodology, the ISD6 invites researchers from all disciplines and methodologies but focuses on one topic.

For the first time organised outside of Italy, the event will be held in the beautiful 1850's villa Mariedal that, since its renovation, features as Jönköping University's representation venue. Jönköping is a small town beautifully located between several lakes, tucked in the deep Swedish forests and hilly-mountains. If we are lucky, January might treat us to some white snow as well!

Topics of interests with (the broadest of interpretation of) an image-schematic focus include:
- conceptual metaphors
- affordances
- spatiotemporal reasoning
- force dynamics
- conceptual modelling
- embodied cognition
- artificial intelligence
- commonsense reasoning
- analogical reasoning
- cognitive robotics
- interface design
- art and literature analysis

The workshop accepts three forms of submissions with deadline December 10 (more information can be found on the website):
- Abstracts for presentation (2 pages) - (NOTE: not included in the proceedings.)
- Extended abstracts (5 pages) of either preliminary work and ideas or summaries of previous published articles.
- Research papers (5-10 pages) discussing novel research not published (or under review) at another venue.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions will be included in the ISD6 proceedings. Submitted abstracts will have a chance to turn their contributions into full research papers after the workshop. Papers that are accepted after a second round of reviewing will be included in the proceeding.
