Daniela Lopez de Luise FG 2027 marks an important milestone in the history of the conference series, as IEEE FG will be held in Africa for the first time.
Special Sessions provide an opportunity to highlight focused, emerging, and interdisciplinary research topics within the broader scope of face and gesture recognition, modeling, and analysis. Special Sessions are fully integrated into the main conference program. Papers submitted to Special Sessions will undergo the same rigorous peer-review process as regular submissions and, if accepted, will be included in the conference proceedings.
We particularly encourage proposals addressing emerging research directions, novel application domains, new challenges, and interdisciplinary topics that can bring new perspectives to the FG community.
