The 2021 ACM CHI Virtual Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is the premier international conference on Human-Computer Interaction.

Registration is open

Please read our blog posts to see how we are planning for this exciting Online Conference in 2021.

CHI – pronounced ‘kai’ – is a place where researchers and practitioners gather from across the world to discuss the latest in interactive technology. CHI is generally considered the most prestigious in the field of HCI and attracts thousands of international attendees annually. CHI will be held for the first time as an online virtual conference.

Our theme encourages authors and delegates to make waves as they feature the latest discoveries and advances in HCI and shake up the existing state of affairs. And to think of CHI as a platform to combine strengths of different people from different perspectives. This gives rise to our CHI 2021 theme “Making Waves, Combining Strengths“.

Please see our welcome video below and we look all forward to welcoming you to our online virtual conference in May of 2021.

The annual ISCRAM conference is held each May and it provides the opportunity for researchers and practitioners from across the world to meet and share their expertise in the design, development, and implementation of information systems that are focused on improving the management of crises and disaster situations.

The ISCRAM Association, which sponsors the annual conference, is a vibrant international community of researchers and practitioners. It is dedicated to providing free access to the full proceedings of each annual ISCRAM conference through the ISCRAM digital library.

Due to the travel restrictions and limitations on large gatherings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the likelihood that such limitations will persist in some form through the end of May 2021, the ISCRAM Board and the ISCRAM 2021 conference organizers have decided that it will be best to present ISCRAM 2021 as an interactive virtual event rather than in its traditional face-to-face format.

The International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM) is a forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to come together to share knowledge, discuss ideas, exchange information, and learn about cutting-edge research in diverse fields with the common theme of online social media. This overall theme includes research in new perspectives in social theories, as well as computational algorithms for analyzing social media. ICWSM is a singularly fitting venue for research that blends social science and computational approaches to answer important and challenging questions about human social behavior through social media while advancing computational tools for vast and unstructured data.

ICWSM, now in its fifteenth year, has become one of the premier venues for computational social science, and previous years of ICWSM have featured papers, posters, and demos that draw upon network science, machine learning, computational linguistics, sociology, communication, and political science. The uniqueness of the venue and the quality of submissions have contributed to a rapidly growing conference, and a competitive acceptance rate of approximately 20% for full-length research papers published in the proceedings by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI).

Building on the successes in previous years, in addition to the usual program of contributed talks, posters, and demos, ICWSM-2021 will also hold a dedicated day of workshops and tutorials on June 7th, 2021.

Every other year since 1992, the European Sociological Association organises a big conference in different European countries. From 31 August to 3 September 2021, 3000 participants from all over the world are expected to come to Barcelona, Spain for the 15th ESA Conference dealing with “Sociological Knowledges for Alternative Futures“.

The ESA 2021 Conference will take place either with the full physical co-presence of all attendees, or wholly online, or in some hybrid mode combining these two possibilities. We hope to see you in Barcelona!

Communication and trust: building safe, sustainable and promising futures

What futures are we building up? What is the role of media and communication in these processes? Considering the pace of technological change and the way it is reshaping economy and culture, what type of adaptations and commitments are being asked of citizens and to what extent are institutions and policy makers engaged in achieving solutions that are both progressive and sustainable? What type of social, political and cultural futures are media and communication inducing and modelling? What relations exist between them and what are their main normative cornerstones? These are questions of critical interest for the 2021 ECREA conference. Scholars are invited to question the relevance of communication studies in face of societal challenges today and for generations to come.

About Euro infectious Diseases 2021

We cordially invite you all the participants from all over the world to attend 13^th Euro-Global Conference on Infectious Diseases is going to be held during October 11-12, 2021 London, UK. The Conference highlights the theme “Advanced epidemiological methods during Covid-19″.

Infectious Diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Infectious diseases may be of water borne, food borne, vector borne, air borne in human beings as well as in plants and animals. Infectious diseases basically emphasize on the pathogenesis of the bacteria and their therapeutic measures, coalesce of branches of Microbiology especially Clinical and Diagnostic Microbiology which deals with the cure and prevention of the Infectious diseases. It represents an increasingly important cause of human morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Vaccine development is thus of great importance in terms of global health.

The conference attains significance when we look at the worldwide deaths due to Infectious Diseases. Tetanus (500,000), Measles (1 Million), HIV/AIDS (1 Million), Hepatitis B (1.1 Million), Malaria (2.1 Million), Diarrhoea(3.1Million), Tuberculosis (3.1 Million), Respiratory Infections (4.4 Million).

Public health futures in a changing world

European public health has not had a good COVID. Across Europe the public health response to a pandemic has been largely unsuccessful. This is despite an enormous amount of very hard work in public health units all across the EU. This reflects a weakness within the profession, which has been manifested in the curious phenomenon of dual strands of public health advice, official and unofficial, in several EU countries. Politicians were placed in an impossible position by this. This needs to be openly and constructively faced. By and large, public health has had limited impact on the design and implementation of a core public health policy.

So. The world of public health changes, but many key pieces remain the same. A key part is to hold to that which we value, and to build on that, and extend out from that, to meet new and pressing needs. A focus on where we are, and where we want to go might be helpful for clarification. The relevant word is ‘futures’, and not ‘future’. We expect an even more diverse public health, with the public health workforce delivering in new and more traditional arenas. Read more here.
