This year’s CHI conference will take place in Barcelona, Spain (13–17 April 2026). To honor the tradition of the German HCI event, this website will feature details on this year’s publications from the labs within the German HCI community.
Publications
We curated a list of publications – including links to social media, lab websites, and supplemental material. Currently, we have 96 full papers, 19 posters, one journal paper, two interactive demos, two student mentoring programs, and we lead six workshops. Three papers received a best paper award, and 11 papers received an honorable mention 🎉
