Joing SIGCHI.

We have financial support to pay for all your expenses to assist this Summer School (in case you need it).

IMPORTANT: Financial support will be provided directly by SIGCHI via reimbursement.

For MSc/PhD students who are new to the HCI Community, SIGCHI offers the possibility to connect to researchers in your area either by attending events of your ACM local chapters or by participating in one of the ACM SIGCHI conferences. As a member of SIGCHI, you can find a local student chapter if you want to organize HCI activities and events in your region. You are also able to apply for a Student Travel Grant and you can become a Student Volunteer at some SIGCHI sponsored conferences.

If you are a Postdoc or a early career faculty member, there are several ways you can impact the HCI community. For example, you can create a regular ACM chapter or a community of researchers on a special topic, or have access to teaching resources that can help you develop the first lectures you are giving at your university.

Industry practitioners interested in human-computer interaction can keep track of developments in the HCI community by having access to the latest work of SIGCHI members though the ACM Digital Library and Interactions magazine.

As an established faculty member, researcher or practitioner you might be ready to shape the HCI community by chairing, organizing, and running SIGCHI sponsored or in-cooperation conferences. Awards like the CHI Academy or for outstanding contributions at conferences can help you advance your career.

Senior SIGCHI members with an interest in nurturing the HCI community may sign up to become a mentor for students. For example, you may nominate yourself at conferences such as CHI to participate in the Rock Star lunches for student volunteers, sign up for the ACM Distinguished Speaker program to spread the word about HCI, or become the chair of a Doctoral Consortium at one of the many SIGCHI conferences.
