The 2027 ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval (CHIIR – pronounced “cheer”) will take place in Berlin, Germany between March 7-11, 2027.
ACM SIGIR CHIIR 2027 invites submission of half-day tutorials. 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-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval. Tutorials also serve as a venue to share presenters’ expertise with the global community of user-centered 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 should be 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.
All deadlines are at 23:59 Anywhere on Earth
CHIIR 2027 is an in-person conference. We believe that an in-person conference is more beneficial in terms of direct engagement and networking opportunities, more dynamic exchange of research ideas, and welcoming and nurturing newcomers.
All accepted tutorials and workshops are expected to be conducted in-person. All presentations at tutorials and workshops are expected to be in-person. No pre-recorded videos will be accepted.
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 extended abstract submission time.
No changes to authorship, under any circumstances, will be permitted after the submission deadline. This also applies to the camera-ready submission. So, please ensure you have listed authors correctly at the submission time.
All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on using Artificial Intelligence.
Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Note that workshops and tutorials are not subject to the ACP policy.
