5th Asian CHI Symposium

Welcome to the Asian CHI 2021 Symposium

 Asian CHI 2021 Symposium is inviting you to showcase the latest HCI work from anywhere in Asia, the Asian diaspora, and those focusing on incorporating Asian sociocultural factors in their design and implementation. This symposium aims to foster social ties among academics (researchers and students) and practitioners and continuously grow a research community in Asia.

The History

Asian CHI Symposium was initially a joint event between Southeast Asia and Japanese CHI Symposiums held at CHI conferences since 2017. Before the event 2017, many Asian symposiums, such as ASEAN, Japanese, and Chinese CHI Symposiums were held separately at CHI conferences since 2015. These events seeded the birth of the Asian CHI Symposium in 2017. 

In 2016, the key organizers of Southeast Asia and Japanese CHI Symposiums decided to start a joint symposium to be held in 2017 to grow the Asian HCI community bigger and increase the participation of younger researchers and practitioners Asian community at the CHI conference. 

Asian CHI Symposiums have successfully brought many Asian researchers and practitioners who never came to CHI, came to CHI for the first time, and shared and published their novel research ideas. Read more about the Evolution of the Asian CHI Symposium and the existing publications.

Asian CHI 2021

Asian CHI Symposium is no longer just a joint event between Southeast Asia and the Japanese CHI community. We aim to showcase the latest HCI work from anywhere in Asia, the Asian diaspora, and those focusing on incorporating Asian sociocultural factors in their design and implementation through this symposium. This symposium aims to foster social ties among academics (researchers and students) and practitioners and continuously grow a research community in Asia.

In 2020, we organized the Asian CHI Symposium 2020 virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic successfully. At CHI 2021, we will organize the second virtual Asian CHI Symposium online instead of in Yokohama, Japan.
