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 submissions focused on user-centered approaches to designing and evaluating systems for information access, seeking, retrieval, and use.

CHIIR is a multi-disciplinary research meeting. In addition to studies of interactive systems, information interaction, and retrieval, we encourage submissions on related topics, including human-human information interaction, novel interaction paradigms, new evaluation methods, and related research in a range of communities such as sociology, education, ethnography, psychology, human-computer interaction, and other relevant disciplines.

Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:
-Individual and collaborative information seeking and use behaviours, including task-based and exploratory studies, sensemaking, etc.
-Ethical and societal aspects of information access and use
-Quantitative and qualitative studies featuring field work, diary and case studies, log analysis, experiments, usability studies, simulations, content analysis, network analysis, eye-tracking, neuro-physiological approaches, surveys, interviews, etc.
-Information discovery and retrieval interfaces, including those for specialised tasks, diverse populations, and domains (e.g., digital humanities, searching as learning, workplaces)
-Context-aware and personalised search, including design, contextual features and analysis of information interaction with recommendation technologies
-Multi-modal interactions with information, including augmented and virtual reality interfaces, mobile devices, conversational information systems, gamification approaches, information visualisation and visual analytics
-Studies of generative AI for information access, including retrieval-augmented and non-retrieval-based interactions
