We are pleased to invite submissions to the 2nd ACM SIGCHI CHIGreece-Cyprus Chapters Symposium 2026, a symposium bringing together the Greek and Cypriot research communities, as well as international researchers and practitioners working in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Responsible AI, and Emerging Technologies.
Building on the spirit of CHIGreece & CHICyprus Chapters - Connect. Engage. Inspire. - the joint symposium aims to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation across disciplines, providing a platform to present and discuss cutting-edge research and ideas shaping the future of human-centered technology.
Theme and Scope
The symposium focuses on advancing research and practice at the intersection of humans and technology, with particular emphasis on:
- Shaping a Sustainable Future with HCI, Responsible AI, and Emerging Technologies
- Human-centered, Responsible, and Emerging Intelligent Technologies
- Long-term sustainable approaches to HCI design and innovation
We welcome contributions with emphasis on young researchers, students, researchers, practitioners and designers, interested in exploring how emerging technologies can be designed and deployed responsibly, inclusively, and sustainably.
This meeting will celebrate the World Usability Day 2026, focused on the theme “Designing a Sustainable Future with Ethical AI”, featuring a number of expert panel discussions on related and timely topics. In addition, upcoming ACM SIGCHI CHIGreece-Cyprus Chapters activities will be highlighted like the 4th International Conference ACM CHIGreece 2027, September 27-30, 2027, in Thessaloniki, add CHICyprus activity.
