Call for WORKSHOPs
The theme of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (CHItaly 2025) is “Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer Interaction in the Third Millennium”. It invites us to reflect on how technological advances continue to redefine our interactions with the digital world.
Over the last two decades, the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has evolved rapidly, adapting to innovations that have transformed everyday life. Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Robotics, voice interfaces, wearable devices, and the Internet of Things has brought HCI to the forefront of scientific inquiry, offering novel possibilities and complex challenges. These technologies are not only changing how we use digital systems but also influencing the ways we think, learn, communicate, and interact on a personal, social, and organizational level.
This year’s conference aims to inspire a comprehensive dialogue on how these technologies are reshaping the landscape of HCI and redefining the boundaries of human capabilities. Participants will be invited to engage with questions surrounding ethical implications, accessibility, inclusivity, user experience, and the sustainability of emerging technologies. The theme encourages contributors to share insights on methodologies that adapt to these changes, from user-centred design practices to innovative evaluation methods for complex, adaptive systems.
We invite submissions of workshops that contribute to the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Submission Guidelines and Review Process
Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format via Easy Chair, selecting the “Workshop Proposals” track. No specific template is required.
Submissions from both researchers and industry practitioners are encouraged. We suggest involving organizers from multiple institutions to provide diverse perspectives on the workshop topic. Proposals for workshops with innovative formats that can attract a variety of contributions and foster dynamic interactions are particularly welcome.
Organizers of accepted workshops will create a dedicated website featuring the call for papers and comprehensive details about the workshop’s organization and timeline. They will also manage their own publicity and review processes.
A paper summarizing each workshop will be included in the main conference proceedings. Submission deadlines, format, and specific requirements for these summaries will be provided later.
