Workshop In Memoriam of Vincent Hayward

June 28, 2024 | Sorbonne Université, Paris, France

Join us for a special scientific workshop dedicated to the memory of our beloved Vincent Hayward, a pioneer in the field of haptics.

This workshop aims to celebrate Vincent’s remarkable contributions to haptics and provide a platform for researchers, academics, and industry professionals to discuss the latest advancements in tactile perception, haptic interfaces, and interactive technologies.

Let us come together to honor his legacy and further the exploration of tactile sciences.

Date: June 28, 2024 (two days before Eurohaptics 2024)
Location: Lecture theatre, Amphi 25, Campus Universitaire de Jussieu, Sorbonne Université, Paris [see the map]

The workshop comes one day before the beginning of Eurohaptics 2024 in Lille, France. The two cities are well-connected by public transportation (~1h by train). If you need additional information, please contact vh24-workshop@listes.isir.upmc.fr.
