The Poster Track showcases diverse HCI research in Ireland, from published work to early results, ongoing projects, and late-breaking research. The poster format is aimed at sparking conversations and encouraging networking between attendees.
Submissions to the poster track may be, but are not required to be, previously published work. We particularly encourage submissions from early-career researchers and postgraduate students in Ireland.
Accepted authors will display an A2 poster and have the opportunity to present during the symposium. (Note: Presenting authors are required to register and attend in-person).

Academic Symposium in Memory of Liam Bannon
We warmly invite you to join us for an academic symposium in memory of our dear colleague, Liam Bannon, which will take place on November 6th 2025 at University College Dublin.
Liam Bannon (1953-2024) was a leader in human-centred computing, studying the role of technologies in people’s lives and championing the design of better interactive systems. His academic homes were the disciplines of human-computer interaction and computer supported cooperative work, which he was instrumental in establishing.
Across his body of work, his core argument was that human beings and their activities in the world must be a core concern of computer science.
