Call for Interaction Design Workshops
Chinese CHI 2022, organized by International Chinese Association of Computer Human Interaction (ICACHI), will be held in Guangzhou, China, on October 22–23, 2022, in a hybrid online and in-person format. The theme is Inclusion, Resilience, and New Normal.
We invite corporate design and development teams, advanced doctoral students, and university research groups to use the Chinese CHI 2022 human–computer interaction conference workshops to share recent human–computer interaction technologies and research methods, exchange experience and findings, and inform future research.
Chinese CHI 2022 particularly encourages two types of workshop proposal:
- Interaction Platform Workshops: Companies or individuals provide development platforms, open-source tools, or design tools, such as Google's tensorflow.js, Huawei's Data Lake Visualization platform, or the CARLA open-source driving simulator. Participants develop ideas and rapidly create interactive prototypes or design proposals for discussion. The outcomes can inform the organizers' research.
- Co-Design Workshops: Companies or individuals propose discussion topics based on their research methods or projects, such as data-driven design, data visualization, explainable AI, human–AI collaboration, or smart glasses. Organizers guide participants through brainstorming and rapid sketches and proposals for cross-discussion. Outcomes can help companies or individuals assess their research methods.
Chinese CHI 2022 workshops may last half a day or a full day and are expected to take place before the main conference on October 22–23, 2022, in a hybrid format. Each workshop is expected to have 8–15 participants.

Submission Guidelines
- Organizers should prepare their workshop proposals using the attached template. Send the proposal document to:
- workshop.chichi@gmail.com
- After acceptance, workshop organizers must issue a call for participants. We recommend promotion through a dedicated website, social media, email, and other channels. The Chinese CHI website will also list accepted workshops' publicity materials. Organizers decide the number of workshop participants.
- Organizers may request necessary equipment and support from the Chinese CHI committee, including video equipment and hardware materials. In-person workshops must comply with pandemic prevention requirements.
Call for Student Competition
We invite you to submit proposals for workshops at Chinese CHI 2022. The workshops can focus on any area related to the field of human-computer interaction, industrial design, user experience and user interface design. In particular, workshops on challenging, emerging areas related to this year's conference topics are especially sought. The workshops might address basic research, applied research, HCI practice, HCI education, new methodologies, emerging application areas, or design innovations.
We highly encourage the enterprise research, design or engineering team in the company to organize a workshop. The enterprise organizers could provide their developer tools/design platform for participants, and testing the newly designed technologies in the workshop and collect feedback. It might also be a good place to brainstorm new applications and usage context for the newly developed HCI technologies.
We also highly encourage PhD students in the area of HCI and design, to consider organizing a workshop and leverage it as a place to share your research results or evaluate your design methods. It might be a good chance to find researchers who care about the same challenges, questions, and research agendas as you.
We particularly encourage proposals for:
- Highly interactive workshops. If you are working on developing new technologies or modalities for HCI, you could bring your interactive prototypes to the workshop, where the attendees could work together to think about the potential application areas, use cases, research topic or that suggest promising directions for future work.
- Highly collaborative workshops. If you are working on developing new design methods, you could apply your design methods in organizing a co-creation workshop on relevant design topics. The outcomes of the workshops can be used to evaluate your methods.
The expected dates of the workshops would be October 22-23, 2022, before the main track of the conference. Workshops are scheduled for either half day or one day long. A typical workshop will have 8 to 15 participants. The workshops will take place in physical and/or virtual form, depending on the situation with COVID-19.
