*********************Overview**********************

The SOCIALIZE workshop aims to explore user modeling, adaptation, and perso=
nalization techniques that foster the social and cultural integration of di=
verse user populations. We specifically intend to attract research that add=
resses the interaction challenges faced by different groups, with a focus o=
n disadvantaged and at-risk categories (such as refugees and migrants) as w=
ell as vulnerable groups (including children, older, autistic, and disabled=
 people).
Additionally, we welcome research on personalized and adaptive human-robot =
interaction, focusing on social robots that tailor their socially affective=
 behaviors, communication strategies, and collaboration protocols to indivi=
dual users and group dynamics.

  *
Multi-cultural system design;
  *

ial media;
  *
Strategies for adapting systems to groups of users with different cultural =
