<div dir="ltr"><p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>We would like to inform you that we extended the deadline for submission at <span><span>SCRITA</span> workshop</span>.</p>
<p>This workshop focuses on the continuous investigation of
unresolved and new open challenges of the factors affecting
people's acceptance and trust in robots in short- and long-term
settings. </p>
<p>We will invite authors to submit 2-page position papers only, discussing
their prior experience and new developments in the scope of the
workshop to feed into the group and the following panel
discussions. All accepted papers will have short oral presentations. <br>
</p>
<p> Please find below the full CFP, but do not hesitate to contact
us for further information.</p>
<p>best regards</p>

In particular, we aim to integrate expertise from roboticists with psychologists' and sociologists’ insights and experiences to foster a multidisciplinary and human-focused discussion that can capture the multi-faceted nature of trust and acceptance. We will foster the exchange of views on past and ongoing research and contribute to the discussion of innovative ideas for tackling unresolved issues by providing new and inspirational directions for research. </span></p>
