Submissions

The Paper Presentation Track

The Presentations Track is a showcase of work by researchers based in 
Ireland, as well as Irish researchers based internationally, that has 
been published in leading international HCI venues over the past year 
(September 2017- September 2018).

Examples of venues include CHI, CSCW, 
ECSCW, PDC, DIS, MobileHCI, NordiCHI, IJHCS, TOCHI, IwC and other highly ranked 
international conferences and journals. The aim is to give the authors 
of such work the opportunity to share their research with an Irish audience.

A link to the paper as well as full paper 
details (title, presenter/author name, abstract, venue presented) should 
be submitted via:

The authors of 
accepted presentations will be given a presentation slot during the main symposium and an opportunity to discuss their work with peers from the field of HCI.

The Poster Track

The poster track is intended to display the depth and breath of HCI research in Ireland and to provide a starting point for new conversations.

We encourage submissions that focus on Human-Computer 
Interaction, broadly defined. We particularly encourage submissions from 
PhD students and early career HCI researchers in Ireland
.

A 300-500 words abstract should be submitted via:

Deadline for submissions (both categories): 15 October 2018

We are looking forward to seeing you in Limerick in November!
