Call for Papers — The 22nd China Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI 2026)

Human-Computer Interaction research focuses on the design, implementation, and evaluation of interactive computing systems that enhance information exchange between humans and computers. The 22nd China Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI 2026), together with the 22nd National Conference on Pervasive Computing (PCC 2026), will be held as part of the CCF 22nd Harmonious Human-Machine Environment Joint Conference (CCF HHME 2026) from August 14–17, 2026 in Changsha, China (Aug. 14: all-day registration; Aug. 15–17: main sessions).

The conference is hosted by the China Computer Federation (CCF), co-organized by the CCF Technical Committees on HCI and Pervasive Computing, and locally organized by Hunan University. It provides a premier platform for sharing research results, envisioning future trends in HCI, and fostering tight collaboration between academia and industry.
