Call for Posters
We are accepting submissions for the Poster Sessions.
We invite poster submissions for the Machine+Behavior Conference 2026. It will offer a platform for researchers, particularly those early in their careers, to showcase their latest results, ongoing projects, and innovative ideas in a succinct, high-impact manner. Posters will be prominently displayed at the conference venue and featured during a dedicated poster session. In addition, a selected subset of poster presenters will be invited to give 5-minute lightning talks on Day 1 of the conference.
We are particularly interested in submissions that adopt an interdisciplinary approach to explore the social and behavioral impact of AI, with a special focus on generative AI. The conference embraces a wide array of methods, including techniques from:
- Behavioral Science: Designing experimental paradigms to understand AI behavior in real-world contexts and its impact on human behavior.
- Complexity Science: Exploring generative AI, and its interaction with humans, as a complex system on an individual and collective level.
- Cultural Evolution: Investigating the co-evolution of humans and generative AI and its cultural implications.
- Economics: Assessing the economic behavior of machines and the resulting social and economic impacts.
Submission Guidelines
We invite you to submit a two-page abstract including one mandatory descriptive figure with a caption by 8 February 2026, 23:59 CET via our EasyChair submission. The two-page limit includes figures and references.
Abstract submission deadline: February 8, 2026.
Notification of acceptance from: February 23, 2026.

Venue
The Harnack House
The Harnack House is located in the center of the German “Oxford in Berlin”, which is characterized by excellent scientific institutions. Established in 1929 as guest house and conference venue of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society in Berlin-Dahlem, it distinguished itself, particularly in the early years, quickly as an international scientific club. Since 2000 the house has been the conference venue of the Max Planck Society.
