The purpose of a tutorial is to provide conference attendees, including early-career researchers and researchers crossing over from related disciplines, with an opportunity to learn about concepts and techniques for research on user-centred aspects of information interaction and information retrieval. Tutorials also serve as a venue to share presenters’ expertise with the global community of user-centred information retrieval researchers and practitioners. Tutorials should focus on a specific topic presented within the context of CHIIR-related research. Example topic areas include, but are not limited to:
Tutorials could be either full-day or half-day, with a length commensurate with the presented materials and the projected interest of the CHIIR community. We actively encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit tutorial proposals that target different levels of expertise and different interests. We also encourage the submission of hands-on tutorials that combine theoretical concepts with practical exercises.
Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf templates are available from the ACM Website (use sigconf proceedings template for LaTeX and the Interim Template for Word). For LaTeX, use:
\documentclass[sigconf,natbib=true]{acmart}Submissions should be submitted electronically via EasyChair:
by selecting the “CHIIR 2026 Tutorials” track.
Tutorial proposals are not anonymous. The tutorial proposal should consist of two parts as follows:
Note that extended abstracts for accepted tutorials will be published in the conference proceedings.
Tutorial proposals will be reviewed and selected according to these criteria: (1) ability for the tutorial to contribute to strengthening the foundations of research on user-centred aspects of information interaction and information retrieval, or to broadening the field with respect to important new challenges and techniques, (2) experience and skill of the presenter(s), and (3) the value of any materials released with the tutorial for the community.
Please note that for tutorial proposals, an abstract submission is not mandatory.
Tutorial proposals are not anonymous, and the proposal review process is single blind. Workshops and tutorials have traditionally been single-blind to reflect the nature of their content.
Authors should carefully go through ACM’s authorship policy before submitting a paper. Please ensure that all authors are identified in EasyChair before the submission deadline. To support the identification of reviewers with conflicts of interest, the full author list must be specified at abstract submission time for full and prospective papers and submission deadlines for short, demo, resource, tutorial, workshop, and doctoral consortium papers.
No changes to authorship, under any circumstances, will be permitted after the abstract submission deadline or for the camera-ready submission. So, please ensure you have listed authors correctly at abstract submission time.
All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on using Artificial Intelligence.
