About BCS HCI
The International BCS Human-Computer Interaction Conference is a vibrant and established multidisciplinary HCI conference in its 35th year. The July 2022 conference will be hosted by Keele University – a beautiful rural campus university with woods and lakes surrounding the Keele Hall manor house. Centrally located in the UK, near Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, Keele lies between Birmingham and Manchester.
“Towards a Human-Centred Digital Society” is our ambitious 2022 conference theme. We hope you can join us for full schedule of presentations, keynotes, interaction gallery, doctoral consortium, workshops and a Keele Hall BBQ!
The conference is a physical event that includes limited virtual and remote elements (i.e., not a virtual conference experience). Please see more details in About the Conference.
Paper Submissions
- All accepted papers will be published via ScienceOpen in the eWiC conference proceedings (ISSN 1477-9358).
- Please see Submission Guidelines for templates and author guidance, and the submission topics outlined below.

Proposals for Workshops:
Workshops and tutorial/masterclass proposals deadline: 28th January 2022.
If you would like to propose a workshop or a tutorial or masterclass session then please email a proposed title and a short outline description to the conference email: bcshci2022@gmail.com. Workshops or tutorial/masterclasses can be full-day or part-day presentation or activity events. (Proposals for virtual workshops are welcome, but these would ideally be half-day rather than full-day events). All proposals should identify a focused, complementary, HCI theme or activity. For example, past events have included workshops on “Qualitative Data Research in HCI” and “Affective Computing in HCI” and a masterclass on “Chatbot Design and Development”. Proposals from any HCI theme are very welcome.
