The NordiCHI 2025 Summer School will take place in Bergen, Norway from June 16th to 18th, 2025.

The NordiCHI conferences are biennual, with the next conference in 2026. The NordiCHI research community arranges summer schools in the years between the conferences. This year's summer school is hosted by Norwegian University of Science and Technology and University of Oslo.

Call for participation

We invite PhD students in Human-Computer Interaction and related research fields to submit a proposal for evaluation. The admission to the school will be based on the review of the proposal.

ECTS credits

The successful completion of the summer school and submission of an experience report will award 3 ECTS credits from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

The proposal

• The proposal should consist of (1) a research summary, (2) a short resume and (3), a recommendation letter from your PhD supervisor.
• The research summary should be a 2-4 page paper (excluding references) that describes your research. In addition to the overview, you may go in detail on an aspect of your research that you would like to receive feedback on during the summer school.
• Your research summary will not be published, i.e. you can use it verbatim in future publications. However, if accepted to the summer school, we want to distribute your research summary to the other participants as background for discussions.
• As the research summary will not become part of a proceeding, you may use the 1-column ACM initial submissions format: Word, LaTex, or Overleaf.  (see also here)
• Your research summary, resume and recommendation letter should be submitted by email to dag.svanes@ntnu.no and tone@ifi.uio.no.
• Deadline for submission is April 15th.
