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.
