HCII 2023 (Hybrid): Call for Participation

HCI International 2023, the 25th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, jointly with the affiliated Conferences, under the auspices of 21 distinguished international boards, held under one management and one registration, will take place at AC Bella Sky Hotel and Bella Center, Copenhagen, Denmark, 23-28 July 2023.

You are invited to participate and contribute, through papers, posters, tutorials, workshops and a Student Design Competition to this major international forum for the dissemination and exchange of up-to-date scientific information on theoretical and applied areas of HCI. Recent HCII Conferences were attended by more than 2,000 participants from more than 80 countries.

Additionally, the Conference has a long-established tradition of inviting distinguished scientists and professionals in the broader HCI field to organize parallel sessions. Prospective authors should submit their proposal upon invitation from a session organizer. The process is open until 3 February 2023 (under the guidance of Parallel Session Organizers).

You may wish to download the Call for Participation in PDF format and have a look at the Conference Program overview.

Mark in your calendar the following important deadlines:

21 October 2022: regular paper proposals
21 October 2022: tutorial proposals
1 November 2022: workshop proposals
20 January 2023: posters proposals
7 April 2023: student designs

The best contributions will be awarded! The best paper of each of the HCII 2023 Thematic Areas / Affiliated Conferences will be given an award. The best poster extended abstract (in the form of a short research paper) will also receive an award.

Workshops are intended to foster discussion and exchange of ideas on hot topics in the broader field of HCI. They promote community building between academics, researchers, students and practitioners interested in a specific topic or research agenda. Proposals for creative formats are encouraged, where the benefits for workshop participants would need to be indicated.

The Student Design Competition gives to College and University students of all grades an opportunity to present their design idea, by submitting an abstract and a video clip (up to 5-minutes). Three awards will be presented, the GOLD ($1000), the SILVER ($500) and the BRONZE ($250). HCII2023 will offer for the first time this year, in a timely fashion, a virtual training session to students aspiring to prepare quality video submissions. Further information will become available, in due course, through the Conference website.

The Conference Proceedings will be published by Springer in a multi-volume set. Papers will appear in the LNCS and LNAI series, while poster extended abstracts will be published in the CCIS series. All volumes will be available on-line through the SpringerLink Digital Library, readily accessible by subscribing libraries, and indexed by a number of services, including: CPCI, part of Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science; Scopus; EI Engineering Index; ACM Digital Library; Google Scholar; DBLP, etc.

Exhibiting at the Conference is an ideal opportunity to display your products and services to an international audience of academics, researchers, professionals and users in the field of HCI. Detailed information about the HCII 2023 Exhibition will soon become available through the Conference website.

The HCII 2023 Program for Student Volunteers will soon become available through the Conference website.

HCII 2023: Design Café

A new, innovative, interdisciplinary, interactive and participatory event is added to the HCII conference to provide space for discussion and rethinking of important topics of global interest. Inspired by the World Café method, the HCII2023 Design Café aims to provide a small-group forum for productive, critical discussions in a moderated face-to-face group situation and to identify innovative approaches for transferring ideas into practice.

The topics to be discussed will be informed, in part, by: (i) Selected findings of the White Paper “Seven HCI Grand Challenges” (prepared by a group of 32 experts involved in the community of the HCII Conference series during 2018-2019) which arise in the emerging landscape of rapid technological evolution towards more intelligent interactive technologies; this is coupled with the increased and widened societal needs, as well as the individual and collective expectations that HCI, as a discipline, is called upon to address. (ii) A selection from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

The HCII2023 Design Café will take place on Friday, 28 July 2023, 13:30 – 18:00 as an ‘in-person’ only event. Participation is open to registered conference participants as well as to interested non-registered to the conference individuals. The event will be of interest to professionals, academic / research staff, graduate students from universities and design schools, individuals working in design or R&D departments in industry, government institutions, service providers, etc. A registration fee of $75 is applicable for all participants. As the number of places is limited, applications will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Detailed information about the HCII2023 Design Café will become available through the Conference website in due course.
