ECCE 2025: European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2025 Tallinn University Tallinn, Estonia, October 7-10, 2025

The European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics (ECCE), established in 1982, is the premier annual conference of the European Association of Cognitive Ergonomics (EACE). It serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and academics to share advancements, ideas, and discussions in the fields of cognitive ergonomics and human-media interaction. ECCE is organized in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI.

For 2025, ECCE will take place in Tallinn, a city renowned for its innovation, advanced e-services, and commitment to forward-thinking digital public solutions, making it the perfect setting for this year’s theme: “Critical reflection for a better tomorrow.”

Our goal is to raise awareness of the role and contribution of cognitive ergonomics and related design-oriented fields in enabling the experiences of individuals, communities, and the whole society through the experiences we enable, facilitate or craft.
