37th Summer University on Ergonomics<\/h1>\r\n

Human Factors, AI and Monitoring in Ergonomics and Safety<\/h2>\r\n

The 37th Summer University on Ergonomics will take place in Budapest, at \u00d3buda University, between 1\u20133 July 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

This year\u2019s Summer University focuses on the changing role of ergonomics and human factors in the age of artificial intelligence, human monitoring, digital technologies, safety science and workplace applications.<\/p>\r\n

The aim is to connect education, research and practice. The program will discuss how human-centred approaches, measurement methods, AI-supported tools and monitoring technologies can support healthier, safer and more effective work systems.<\/p>\r\n

Main structure of the program<\/h2>\r\n

Wednesday, 1 July 2026
Education, Concepts and Emerging Directions<\/h3>\r\n

The first day will focus on broader professional and educational perspectives. We welcome lectures and discussions on:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  • human factors and ergonomics education,<\/li>\r\n
  • AI in ergonomics and human factors,<\/li>\r\n
  • Industry 5.0 and human-centred systems,<\/li>\r\n
  • occupational safety and health perspectives,<\/li>\r\n
  • current challenges in workplace design and prevention,<\/li>\r\n
  • new roles of ergonomists, safety professionals and researchers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    This day is intended to provide a common conceptual background for the Summer University.<\/p>\r\n

    Thursday, 2 July 2026
    Research, Measurement and Monitoring<\/h3>\r\n

    Thursday will be dedicated to research activities, measurement technologies and human-centred monitoring.<\/p>\r\n

    The program will provide space for university research groups and researchers working in ergonomics, human factors, occupational safety, safety science, biomechanics, intelligent systems and related fields.<\/p>\r\n

    Topics may include:<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n
    • biomechanics and human motion analysis,<\/li>\r\n
    • motion tracking and movement recognition,<\/li>\r\n
    • physiological and cognitive monitoring,<\/li>\r\n
    • human\u2013machine interaction,<\/li>\r\n
    • robotics and human-centred control,<\/li>\r\n
    • intelligent decision support,<\/li>\r\n
    • AI-supported risk assessment,<\/li>\r\n
    • monitoring methods in ergonomics and occupational safety,<\/li>\r\n
    • research methods for understanding human performance, workload and safety.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      The day will also provide an opportunity for newly established research groups at \u00d3buda University to present their work and explore links with ergonomics, human factors and safety science.<\/p>\r\n

      Friday, 3 July 2026
      Applications, Best Practices and Workplace Experiences<\/h3>\r\n

      The final day will focus on practical applications, workplace solutions and best practices.<\/p>\r\n

      We welcome contributions from practitioners, companies, consultants, researchers and PhD students on:<\/p>\r\n

        \r\n
      • workplace ergonomics,<\/li>\r\n
      • occupational safety applications,<\/li>\r\n
      • digital tools in prevention,<\/li>\r\n
      • AI-supported workplace assessment,<\/li>\r\n
      • implementation experiences,<\/li>\r\n
      • good practices from industry,<\/li>\r\n
      • methodological demonstrations,<\/li>\r\n
      • lessons learned from real workplace projects.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

        The purpose of this day is to connect research results and professional methods with real workplace practice.<\/p>\r\n
