Eye Tracking in Reading – The Third ETRA-MultiplEYE Workshop

a part of

ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications (ETRA 2026)

Marrakech – Morocco, June 1 – 4 2026

The workshop is organized to gather researchers working in a broad area concerning the analysis of the way people move their eyes while reading. The aim of the workshop is to bring together data scientists, psychologists, and linguists and give them an opportunity to exchange their ideas.

One of the purposes of the workshop is to support the dissemination of the MultiplEYE COST Action, which aims to foster an interdisciplinary network of research groups working on collecting eye-tracking data from reading in many languages. The network currently includes more than 300 participants interested in and involved with eye-tracking-while-reading research. However, the workshop is open to all interested researchers.

Agenda:

June 4, at 1:45pm (chair: Pawel Kasprowski)
