NordiCHI 2014 – Fun, Fast, Foundational

We are proud to announce the 8th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, NordiCHI 2014, which will take place in Finland, at the Helsinki Marina Congress Center 26.-30.10.2014. NordiCHI is organized in collaboration with ACM SIGCHI, and it is the meeting place for researchers, designers, practitioners, and educators from a broad range of traditions and communities from all around the world.

Submission deadlines:
24th of April 2014: Long papers & short papers
8th of May 2014: Workshop & tutorial proposals
14th of August 2014: Industrial experiences; design cases; posters, demos, and videos; panels; student design competition; doctoral consortium; workshop papers

The conference theme for 2014 is Fun, Fast, Foundational. This theme applies both to the scientific content of the conference and your visit to Helsinki. We welcome submissions that address designing for positive experiences (such as fun), user-centered design in fast-paced agile development, as well as foundational theories and in-depth insights into the topics of the conference. NordiCHI 2014 will offer a great and fun social program outside the conference sessions; fast access from the conference center to the hotel, the conference dinner venue, and to the city center; as well as foundational discussions in panels and during breaks. 

NordiCHI 2014 accepts contributions in several categories. The technical program is the backbone of the conference, inviting original, high-quality long and short papers. Other submission categories include industrial experiences; design cases; demos, posters and videos. All of these will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Proposals can also be submitted for tutorials, workshops, panels, the student design competition and doctoral consortium.
