Google Gender and Technology Research in Bangladesh 2017
Google Gender and Technology Research in Bangladesh is the HCI Research Project by Google, the USA, and North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh about the Challenges of Using Technology of Women in Developing Countries. This research takes place in many countries of different continents such as South America, Africa, And Asia. We reach out to several communities of women at three different regions in Bangladesh including married, unmarried, students, cleaner, garment workers, retired women, etc. and in both higher and lower-class societies as well. We studied the social norms and values in the South Asian countries women and trying to improve the privacy controls, by offering or providing algorithmic suggestions.

HCI Across Borders 2018
This symposium at CHI has evolved into a critical collaborative effort to bring together researchers working in under-represented contexts around the world. The mission has been to foster community across geographies, backgrounds, methodologies, and other borders. To achieve this, this symposium explored building bridges with the larger HCI community, and creating concrete mentorship opportunities for supporting HCIxB researchers in publishing at impactful venues such as CHI.

Summer School of HCI Research and Text Entry Method 2018
Many emerging topics in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research involve conceptualizing, prototyping and evaluating novel interaction techniques. In order to conduct research in these topics, the selection of appropriate research methods and rigorous user testing are crucial.
An important goal of this summer school is developing research capability. This summer school provided new researchers with a systematic overview of the common research methods and experienced researchers to refine their skills, and learn new, alternative methods used in the area.
2nd Symposium on Bangla Computational Linguistics 2018
This Symposium aims to bring together all researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences, knowledge and research outputs on Bangla Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics. Academicians, researchers, developers, policy makers, linguistics and other important stakeholders working in this field will be invited so that various efforts could be bench-marked. The challenges involved and their probable future solutions will be discussed in this Symposium.

HCI Workshop at North South University 2018
This workshop was to focus the possible HCI research scopes among the students, academic researchers and Industry researchers. People from both academics and Industries were sit together, discuss and share their research ideas for building a strong HCI research community in Bangladesh.
MobileHCI 2018
Mobile interaction is expanding its horizon beyond the interaction between humans and their mobile devices. The interaction became much more integrated into our daily lives. Devices, displays, interfaces and interaction are joined to larger ensembles and novel interactions are fluid across the real world and the digital world. MobileHCI is a conference which tries to expanded horizon of mobile interaction and invites submissions and contributions.

UbiComp is a premier interdisciplinary venue in which leading international researchers, designers, developers, and practitioners in the field present and discuss novel results in all aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing This includes the design, development, and deployment of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies and the understanding of human experiences and social impacts that these technologies facilitate.
Broadening Participation Workshop 2018
This workshop was for student and early career researcher participants. This is the workshop that focused to connect emerging researchers with experienced ones creating a support system and network of researchers. This event was intended to increase the involvement of women, all researchers from developing countries, as well as underrepresented minorities, including persons with disabilities, in the field of ubiquitous and wearable computing.

COMSNETS 2019
COMSNETS is a premier international conference dedicated to advances in Networking and Communications Systems. The conference is a yearly event for a world-class gathering of researchers from academia and industry, practitioners, and business leaders, providing a forum for discussing cutting edge research, and directions for new innovative business and technology.
ACM SIGCHI Summer School 2019, Bangladesh
The brain drain in developing countries creates a substantial gap for qualified resources in HCI. There’s absolutely no formal design education/HCI education available in Bangladesh, However, few HCI enthusiasts with the help of recently formed Dhaka ACM SIGCHI Chapter have been active to build a strong community of HCI professionals (BanglaCHI), and are very much in need for both training in the latest techniques and extending their network nationally and internationally.
This Summer school aims to fill the knowledge and skill gaps of students interested at HCI in Bangladesh, setup the grounds for creating an HCI community in Bangladesh and promote HCI in the greater community of companies and government organizations in Bangladesh.

Discussion on Design 2019
The UX designers from Netherlands joined the Sharashwati Puja at North South University and discussed their Industry UX research models and experiences with academic researchers in Bangladesh.
HCI Across Borders, CHI 2019
The focus of traditional HCI research has largely been on relatively homogenized groups of users, mostly in technology-rich settings. As computing technologies become more ubiquitous throughout the world, including across relatively under-served communities and diverse populations, there is a growing need to better understand these communities and their interactions with computing technologies. In addition to a diversity in users, more and more disciplines are finding themselves embraced by the HCI community.
The HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) community, still strong, and continues its dream to build bridges across all these differences within HCI.

CHI 2019 Bangladeshi Researchers Meetup
The ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction. CHI is a place where researchers and practitioners gather from across the world to discuss the latest in interactive technology. CHI is also a multicultural community from highly diverse backgrounds who together investigate and design new and creative ways for people to interact using technology.

Asian CHI Symposium 2019
The Asian CHI Symposium showcased the latest HCI work from Asia, the Asian diaspora and those focusing on incorporating Asian sociocultural factors in their design and implementation. Aside from circulating ideas, identifying emerging research problems and envisioning future directions in human-computer interaction research, this symposium focused to foster social ties among academics (researchers and students) and practitioners and continuously grow a research community in Asia.
ACM SIGCHI Summer School on Human Centered AI 2019
AI is receiving, alongside the challenges around inequity, fairness, and bias, among others, which are also surfacing. There is the need for the next generation of HCI and AI students, researchers, and practitioners to develop a stronger awareness of the potential of AI. Academia and industry have both shown an increased interest in making the world of AI more human-centered, with endlessly stimulating discussions around what these human-centered facets might entail.
This summer school tried to support current and future HCI researchers who are drawn to work on/with AI-related research and/or products.

ACM SIGCHI Winter School 2019, Bangladesh
ACM SIGCHI is increasing its engagement with practitioners and researchers from Asian developing countries. Based on this motivation and has already organized a significant number of conferences in Asia, and also in Asian developing countries. In the anticipation of CHI 2021 in Japan, we organised the Winter School and follow-up activities in the month of November 2019 in Bangladesh. The objective of this winter school was to support SIGCHI's goal by encouraging researchers, practitioners and research students from Asia (more focus to global south) to submit a larger number of quality paper submissions to the CHI 2021 conference in particular, and HCI conferences in general.
