Chinese CHI 2017, taking place in Guangzhou, China, on June 8–9, 2017 (http://chchi2017.icachi.org), invites doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students from different areas of HCI to its Student Forum (SF). Organized as a workshop, SF enables students to present research to HCI and user experience experts and learn together. It offers constructive feedback on thesis work, career guidance, and exchanges with peers in related fields. Its topics match those of Chinese CHI 2017; see http://chchi2017.icachi.org. Students from user experience, interaction design, computer science, cognitive science, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines are welcome, as are all conference participants.
Students (doctoral, master, and bachelor) within different areas of HCI are invited to take part in the Student Forum (SF) at Chinese CHI 2017 (http://chchi2017.icachi.org). The SF will take the form of a workshop where the students have the possibility to present and discuss their research with some of the leading HCI/UX researchers. The purpose of the SF is for the students to receive constructive feedback on their (thesis) work, get advice about future developments, and share ideas and experiences with peer students in related areas. The research areas covered by the SF are the same as the Chinese CHI 2017 conference generally and can be found at http://chchi2017.icachi.org Students may come from different academic disciplines, such as user experience, interaction design, computer science, cognitive science, psychology, or sociology.
