21st IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Special Session Call for Papers Call for Papers

Call for Special Session Proposals for the 
21st IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition
(FG 2027), 
which will take place 
April 26-30, 2027, in 
Marrakesh, Morocco.

FG 2027 marks an important milestone in the history of the conference
series, as IEEE FG will be held in Africa for the first time.

Special Sessions provide an opportunity to highlight focused,
emerging, and interdisciplinary research topics within the broader
scope of face and gesture recognition, modeling, and analysis. Special
Sessions are fully integrated into the main conference program. Papers
submitted to Special Sessions will undergo the same rigorous
peer-review process as regular submissions and, if accepted, will be
included in the conference proceedings.

We particularly encourage proposals addressing emerging research
directions, novel application domains, new challenges, and
interdisciplinary topics that can bring new perspectives to the FG
community.
