We live in a world marked by massive global changes, moving us rapidly into rather unprecedented and unknown directions. It has never been so vital for us to understand the interactions among humans and other system elements. This necessitates the creation and adoption of theories, principles, data, and methods of design, as well as new capabilities, technologies, skills, procedures, policies, strategies to find new ways of engaging with a rapidly changing world and optimise wellbeing and performance.
As practitioners and scientists, we must deal with a spectrum of challenges and opportunities. The field of human factors and ergonomics (HFE) is, and will continue to be, a key enabler in navigating the changing landscape.
The conference will host contributions that advance the theory or practice of the following and other HFE topics:
- Digitalisation and Automation of Work
- Human-Machine Interaction
- Organisational Design and Management
- Ergonomic Interventions
- Cognitive Ergonomics
- Visual Ergonomics
- Risk Analysis and Management
- Psychosocial Work Environment
- Service Work and Service Systems
- Occupational Health
Key Dates
List of accepted contributions: Mid September 2021
Registrations open: Mid September 2021
Early bird registrations close: 17 October 2021
Virtual conference: 8-9 November 2021

Keynote Speakers
Professor Pascale Carayon
Pascale Carayon, PhD, is the Leon and Elizabeth Janssen Professor in Engineering, Director of the Wisconsin Institute for Healthcare Systems Engineering and leader of the interdisciplinary Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. She received her Engineer diploma from the Ecole Centrale de Paris, France, and her PhD in Industrial Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has three decades of research experience analyzing, designing and improving complex work systems such as those in healthcare. In the last 20 years, her research has focused on patient safety and healthcare issues such as design of health information technologies and healthy work systems. As an industrial and systems engineer, she is renowned for her groundbreaking contributions in modeling complex system interactions in healthcare processes that influence patient safety and other outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals such as clinician well-being. She is a Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Fellow of the International Ergonomics Association, and member of the editorial boards of Behaviour and Information Technology, Work and Stress, and The Journal of Patient Safety. In 2016, she received the John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award for Individual Achievement. Since 2015, Becker’s Hospital Review has selected her yearly as one of 50 experts leading the field of patient safety. Dr. Carayon was the co-chair of the National Academies’ Committee on Systems Approaches to Improve Patient Care by Supporting Clinician Well-Being. She is a member of the International Academy of Quality and Safety in Health Care.
Professor Judy Kay
Title: Empowering life-long life-wide learning in an Age of AI: case studies from health, wellness and teamwork
Judy Kay is Professor of Computer Science. She leads the Human Centred Technology Research Cluster, in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sydney. A core focus of her research has been to create infrastructures and interfaces for personalisation, especially to support people in lifelong, life-wide learning. This ranges from formal education settings to supporting people in harnessing the long-term data from their personal digital ecosystem, to support self-monitoring, reflection and planning. She has created new forms of interaction including virtual reality, surface computing, wearables and ambient displays. Her research has been commercialised and deployed and she has extensive publications in leading venues for research in user modelling, AIED, human computer interaction and ubicomp. She has had leadership roles in top conferences in these areas and is Editor-in-Chief of the IJAIED, International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education (IJAIED) and Editor of IMWUT, Interactive Mobile Wearable and Ubiquitous Technology (IMWUT).
Professor Don Harris
Title: Flight Decks for Single Pilots: Designing is the Easy Bit, Operating is the Challenge
Don Harris is Professor of Human Factors at Coventry University in the UK. He has over 35 years of experience in Human Factors in the Aerospace, Automotive and Defence Industries. He is a Fellow and a Chartered Member of the Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors and is also a Chartered Psychologist. He is currently engaged on major research contracts with consortia comprising leading UK and European aerospace industrial partners developing innovative flight deck interfaces and aircraft concepts. He has also been involved with COMAC (the new Chinese aircraft manufacturer) on the design and certification of flight deck interfaces for their new commercial aircraft. Don was a member of the FAA/EASA Human Factors Certification Working Group that developed the certification rules for civil aircraft flight decks and was an accident investigator attached to the Army Air Corps. He is a member of the Aerospace Technology Institute advisory committee for Human Factors. Don has held various honorary academic positions, including being a visiting Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University; visiting academic in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan RoC and was honorary Research Fellow at the University of Leicester, UK.
Don was awarded the 2006 Hodgson prize by the Royal Aeronautical Society and in 2008 was part of the team that received the Ergonomics Society President’s Medal. Don has been Chair of the Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics conference series since 1996. He has published over 250 journal, conference papers and book chapters and has edited or written 25 books on Human Factors.
