Call for Student Volunteers
The IEEE World Haptics Conference 2025 (WHC’25), taking place in Suwon, South Korea, is the premier international event dedicated to all aspects of haptics, including fundamental scientific discoveries, technological advancements, algorithms, and applications. It serves as a key platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange ideas, present groundbreaking research, and showcase innovative technologies. WHC’25 will feature oral presentations, poster sessions, hands-on demonstrations, work-in-progress discussions, workshops, tutorials, industrial exhibits, and networking events, fostering collaboration and innovation.
None of this would be possible without the support of a dedicated student volunteer team. We are currently recruiting student volunteers to assist in organizing this prestigious event. If you would like to gain hands-on experience, work alongside leading experts, and contribute to the success of a globally recognized conference, apply now!
