Berardina Nadja De Carolis, Fabio Gasparetti, Cristina Gena, Styliani Kleanthous, Giuseppe Sansonetti · 2025
This is the fifth edition of the SOcial and Cultural IntegrAtion with PersonaLIZEd Interfaces (SOCIALIZE) workshop. This year’s event, like those before it, focuses on bringing together technology enthusiasts to break down barriers - whether they are cultural, social, or linguistic. We especially want to help people who struggle with making connections. In this context, social robots could play a vital role in achieving these ambitious aims. This year’s edition has been particularly successful in terms of submissions. After the review process, 13 articles were accepted, all addressing relevant and timely topics. The authors hope that their presentations will inspire fruitful and engaging discussions among the participants.
