Courses and Workshops

We warmly encourage you to submit workshop proposals for India HCI 2025. Workshops are meant to be a focused, interactive discussion setting where participants share information and skills. Workshops are lively gatherings where people cooperate and work on a shared project. Workshops allow participants to participate as well as the organizer(s). Every workshop should produce concepts that offer the HCI community a fresh perspective on the subject or recommend interesting avenues for further research.

There are two workshop options available: half-day and full-day.
