The aviation industry has evolved into a complex global network where diverse cultural backgrounds interact with flight operations, training, and safety management. Cultural Intelligence in Aviation: Bridging Social Attitudes, Culture, and Safety in a Global Environment examines the vital role of cultural intelligence (CQ) in creating safer, more effective aviation operations.This book addresses the challenges and opportunities that arise when multinational crews, cross-border regulations, and varied workplace cultures come together in aviation environments. Through real-world case studies, empirical research, and theoretical frameworks, this guide explores how cultural intelligence shapes key aviation domains, from flight deck dynamics to accident investigations. It introduces innovative approaches to understanding cultural adaptability, incorporating methodologies from human factors, safety science, and artificial intelligence. Expert contributors bring a wealth of experience from across the industry and from different countries, allowing the reader to have a 360 view of the topic. Readers will gain practical tools and strategies to enhance cross-cultural communication, minimize miscommunication risks, and build a more inclusive aviation culture that prioritizes safety across all operations.This resource is designed for aviation professionals at every level, including flight crews, safety managers, and training specialists. It will also serve as a valuable reference for academics and researchers in aviation studies, while providing regulatory authorities with evidence-based insights for policy development.

The 23rd International Conference on Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics, EPCE 2026, held as part of the 28th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCI International 2026 (HCII 2026), took place in Montreal, QC, Canada, during July 2026.A total of 7435 individuals from academia, research institutes, industry, and government agencies from 94 countries submitted contributions to HCII 2026. Following peer review, 1463 papers and 360 posters (as short research papers) are included in the volumes of the HCII 2026 proceedings published just before the start of the conference.Two volumes (LNCS 16707 and 16708) of the HCII 2026 proceedings are dedicated to this year’s edition of the EPCE Affiliated Conference Area focusing on topics related to:·        Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics (Part I): Interaction and Cognition; Risk, Safety, and Decision Making; and Cognition at Work;·        Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics (Part II): Cognition in Driving and Cognition in Aviation.
