Welcome to the 12th International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI 2025)!
📅 December 1–4, 2025 | 📍 Indiana University Bloomington, Bloomington, IN, USA

The International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) is the world’s leading venue dedicated to exploring how animals engage with, influence, and benefit from technology. Since its beginnings as a one-day affiliated event, ACI has grown into a dynamic, multi-day conference that attracts researchers, practitioners, and innovators from across the globe.

In 2025, we celebrate the 12th edition of ACI, continuing our mission to advance animal-centred computing and foster deeper understanding of the complex relationships between animals, humans, and technology.

💡 What Makes ACI Unique?

• Interdisciplinary Collaboration – bringing together experts in computing, design, biology, anthropology, welfare science, and more.

• Animal-Centered Design – exploring methods and ethics that recognize animals as legitimate stakeholders in technology design.

• Cutting-Edge Research – spanning animal ergonomics, cognition, welfare, interaction design, and sustainable computing.

• Practical Impact – focusing on technologies that enhance animal wellbeing, support activities, and promote interspecies connections.

Whether you are a researcher, designer, technologist, or advocate, ACI 2025 offers a platform to exchange ideas, present findings, and shape the future of animal-computer interaction.

👉 Join us in Bloomington this December to help break new ground in this pioneering field and to be part of an international community committed to creating more inclusive, ethical, and sustainable ways of living with technology.
