Research Outputs in 2025: 168 contributions across leading international research venues.
In 2025, the Interactive Technologies Institute (ITI) produced 168 peer-reviewed scientific outputs across international research venues, reflecting the sustained activity of its 24 Principal Investigators (PIs) and their research lines, composed of doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and collaborators across multiple scientific domains. The year’s output includes 89 journal articles, 8 review articles, 33 conference papers, 20 book chapters, 9 preprints, and 9 additional scholarly contributions. The data was gathered from ITI’s 2025 dataset compiled by Lucas Pereira (ITI).
Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interactive Systems remain ITI’s most represented research area in 2025, with over 50 publications in major international venues. ITI researchers presented work at leading conferences including the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), the ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference (DIS), the ACM Creativity and Cognition Conference (C&C), the ACM Interaction Design and Children Conference (IDC), the ACM Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction Conference (TEI), and the INTERACT (IFIP TC13 Human–Computer Interaction). These venues constitute internationally recognised platforms for advancing research in interaction design, digital systems, creativity support technologies, and emerging interactive media.
ITI researchers also published in internationally recognised, high-ranking journals across Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), health, robotics, gerontology, sports science, and multidisciplinary science. Confirmed high-ranking journals include the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, International Journal of Social Robotics, Journal of Affective Disorders, Ageing Research Reviews, GeroScience, Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, Journal of Aging and Health, Nature’s Scientific Reports, PLOS ONE, Journal of Applied Gerontology, and American Journal of Human Biology.
While interactive technologies remain central to ITI’s scientific profile, the 2025 outputs demonstrate a broad interdisciplinary reach spanning digital health and clinical research, aging and gerontology, social robotics, human performance and sports science, engineering and applied technologies, and social sciences and sustainability research. These results reflect the collective work of ITI’s Principal Investigators and their teams, reinforcing the Institute’s international visibility and scientific impact in 2025.
