The first Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics Conference was held in Stratford-upon-Avon in the UK in 1996. Over the last 29 years over 1,000 papers have been presented in this Conference series by authors from 70 countries. Since 2001 (the fourth Conference) it has been an integral part of the HCI International Conference series, and has gone from strength-to-strength, attracting a world-wide audience of scientists and human factors practitioners.
The Engineering Psychology submissions describe advances in applied cognitive psychology that underpin the theory, measurement and methodologies behind the development of human-machine systems. Cognitive Ergonomics describes advances in the design and development of user interfaces. Originally, these disciplines were driven by the requirements of high-risk, high-performance industries where safety was paramount, however the importance of good human factors is now understood by everyone. And not only can it improve safety, it has been demonstrated to save money! The scope of EPCE 2026 includes:
- Engineering Psychology: Contributions in this area address theoretical developments in psychology (including cognitive, behavioural and social psychology) that inform the design, evaluation, and optimization of complex socio-technical systems.
- Cognitive Ergonomics: Encompasses research on the design and evaluation of future human-machine-interfaces, with a focus on enhancing system safety, performance, and user experience.
I look forward to welcoming you to the 23rd Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics Conference!
