AfCAI 2019 Affective Computing and Context Awareness in Ambient Intelligence, a two-day workshop, was held in Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, Spain, on 11-12 November 2019. According to the organisers, “the objective of the workshop is to bring together people interested in research on affective computing, ambient intelligence, and context aware systems. We assume a goal-oriented yet multidisciplinary research approach, including computer science, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, and experimental sciences. We consider both fundamental and applied research with the participation of companies where possible. Furthermore, we focus at having working sessions dedicated to identifying opportunities for cooperation and joint project applications.”

A talk entitled “A Gamification approach for values education: a pilot study”, was presented by Mrs Raquel Menendez Ferreira, a member of the YoungRes research team. This talk was based on the analysis of the state of the art related to the use of Serious Games for education.
