Asia Committee
About
The Asia SIGCHI Committee (ASC) is an arm of the SIGCHI Executive Committee (EC) dedicated to activating HCI research and practices in Asia and building bridges among the HCI researchers and practitioners in the region. Our activities include identifying common issues and interests across Asian countries, creating places for shared learning and providing support wherever possible, coordinating with Chapters to gain synergy with chapter activities, helping countries with no Chapters and getting key players involved, and engaging with activities to showcase Asian HCI research in cooperation with other regional committees around the world.
News
1 March 2024 — The ASC will be organizing a Special Interest Group meeting at the CHI 2024 conference with the topic “Understanding and Overcoming Barriers in Establishing HCI Degree Programs in Asia”. Details are coming soon.
How we work
Our mission, vision, and the way our committee works are captured in our Asia SIGCHI Committee Bylaws, ratified by the EC on May 15, 2023 (with the latest amendment on July 5, 2023). We are committed to transparency and community engagement.
