Dear colleagues,
Please note that MIG ( <https://mig2021.inria.fr/> Motion, Interaction and Games) 2021 is still accepting Poster submissions.
Each submission should be 1-2 pages in length. Two types of work can be submitted directly for poster presentation:
(i) Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster;
(ii) Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a paper.
Poster submissions can be directly sent by email: mig2021(a)easychair.org <mailto:mig2021@easychair.org>
The deadline is set to Monday 13th September. But please let us know if you wish to submit your work and need some extra time.
Also note that the conference taking place on 10-12th of November is now expected to be in a full virtual format.
The goal of the Motion, Interaction, and Games conference is to be a platform for bringing together researchers from interactive systems and animation, and have them present their most recent results, initiate collaborations, and contribute to the advancement of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions for long and short papers, and talks by a selection of internationally renowned speakers from Academia as well as from the Industry.

Summer School on Virtual Humans
CLIPE’s 1st training workshop - Summer School on Virtual Humans - is scheduled to take place in Cyprus from the 13th until the 17th of September 2021!
The workshop’s aim is to provide an overview of the latest developments in technology and applications in the field of virtual characters. The workshop will be held in Adams Beach Hotel in Ayia Napa but it will be a hybrid event, giving the opportunity to participants to join the workshop online.
The first four days of the workshop will be open to researchers that do not participate in the CLIPE project, but still find the workshop of interest to them. You can find the program here (https://www.clipe-itn.eu/news/training-workshop-1%3A-summer-school-on-virtu…)
We can allow a limited number of remote participants, researchers specialising in the field of virtual humans. If you are interested to join the workshop online, please send us your name, affiliation and webpage at info(a)clipe-itn.eu <mailto:info@clipe-itn.eu> . Registration to the workshop is free.
