CYPSY29 is the 29th Annual CyberPsychology, CyberTherapy, and Social Networking Conference, scheduled for June 30 to July 2, 2026, in Lusófona University, in the stunning city of Porto, Portugal.

This edition of CYPSY is proudly organized by the HEI-Lab Digital Human-environment Interaction Lab at Lusófona University. In collaboration with the Interactive Media Institute, Virtual Reality Media Centre and Université du Québec en Outaouais, this conference represents a valuable international platform for knowledge exchange resulting from research projects and intervention in the field, and networking development. The aim is to foster discussions and advancements in the emerging fields of Cyberpsychology, Cybertherapy, and the dynamics of Social Networking.

This year's central theme is "Human 5.0: Behaviour, Well-being and Ethical Tech". This theme is dedicated to the intersection of behavioural science, ethical technology, and the promotion of human well-being. Inspired by the vision of a Society 5.0 — where technology is deeply integrated into everyday life to serve human interests and needs. The conference aims to explore how emerging technologies can be designed and applied in an ethical, human-centred, and behaviourally informed way. It also fosters critical and constructive reflection on the role of artificial intelligence, digital health, behavioural data, reflecting the growing interconnectedness between humanity and the digital universe.

Celebrating its 29th year, the conference maintains a comprehensive scope, welcoming students and experts from various disciplines. Our primary goal is to facilitate the sharing of findings, encourage new collaborations, and drive the creation of evidence-based, human-factor-focused solutions that contribute positively to the health and well-being of a constantly evolving global society.
