We are an ACM SIGCHI Chapter that connects, supports, and represents the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community in the Netherlands.
The story
CHI NL has gone through a period of lessened activity, whereby the landscape of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research and practice, and the way it has been self organizing in the Netherlands, changed.
In revitalizing CHI NL, the new board (which was initiated in August 2020), consisted of fellow members Karin, Lars, Max, Stefan, Koen, and Abdo. They took this opportunity to ‘rethink’ the vision and mission for CHI NL (see below) through a series of lovely co-creation sessions that took place in Oct-Nov, 2020.
- Initially, the Board underwent an inception period of six months
- During this period, members and outsiders were invited to share their ideas
- Members can (still) express their interest in being active in CHI NL – get in touch!
Check out our roadmap (2021 and beyond).
