Paris ParaCHI 2025

15 April 2025 | Paris, France | in-person

We invite HCI researchers working in France and neighboring countries to join us for a one-day mini-conference around CHI'25 as part of the pano.chi initiative. Our goal is to create a space to discuss the latest works accepted in CHI, to foster new ideas and future collaborations, and to explore the future of hybrid conferences. Our program will include presentations of accepted CHI papers from researchers attending the mini-conference, and discussions on a variety of topics. The event will be in person at the Inria Paris research Center. The default language of this event is English.

Some of the motivations for participating in this event include: the desire to reduce the carbon footprint of air travel and scientific conferences, and the interest in supporting stronger local interactions.

Registration

The event is free. We will provide snacks for the breaks but lunch will not be provided. Please refer to the last section to see some lunch options.

Registration is now closed.

You may use an application such as Citymapper (Android, iPhone) to plan your trips inside Paris. Be sure to check for planned maintenance on your lines before traveling.

There are now two types of tickets: the RER/Metro/Train (https://www.ratp.fr/en/titres-et-tarifs/ticket-metro-train-rer) and the Bus/tram ticket (https://www.ratp.fr/titres-et-tarifs/ticket-bus-tram). They are independent, which means that one cannot be used to replace the other. If you must commute by RER and TRAM, you must buy the two tickets.
