The Workshop duration will be 4 hours, including a 30-minute refreshment break. Workshops will take place on the 26th and the 27th of July 2027, either in the morning (08:30-12:30) or in the afternoon (13:30-17:30), as hybrid events.

HCII 2027: Abigail Sellen will be the recipient of the 'HCI MEDAL FOR SOCIETAL IMPACT' for 2027 and the Keynote Speaker.

The 'HCI MEDAL FOR SOCIETAL IMPACT' was established in 2022 to be awarded to distinguished HCI academics, researchers, or professionals in recognition of the impact of their work in the field of HCI to society. The idea of the medal is to inspire younger generations towards accomplishments that leave a major footprint on society and foster well-being and eudaimonia. The nomination originates from an international committee and the Medal is conferred at a ceremony during the Conference Opening Plenary Session on Tuesday, 27 July 2027, 18:00 (Berlin, Germany).

Abigail Sellen will be the recipient of the 'HCI MEDAL FOR SOCIETAL IMPACT' for 2027 and the Keynote Speaker. She is Vice President at Microsoft Research Cambridge in the UK and was Lab Director for 3 years.
The award ceremony will be followed by her Keynote speech, titled “Raising Our Ambition: HCI's Moment in the Age of Generative AI”.

Abstract: I’ve had the privilege of working in the field of HCI since its inception and have seen many changes over the years, including changes in methods, disciplines, and the topics we get excited about. From its early days where a small number of academics and practitioners had to fight to be recognised, to the huge, global community HCI is today, I want to argue that it has never been more important to raise our level of ambition. While I’ll reflect to some extent about the past, I want to talk more about where we will go in the future. As an example, I will focus on the research we have been doing battling misinformation and disinformation by designing user experiences that enable people to interrogate where digital stuff comes from. I will argue that in the age of Generative AI, it has never been more critical for HCI researchers and practitioners to help shape a future in line with human values and aspiration.

HCII 2027: About Berlin

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany with 3.7 million inhabitants and has the highest population within its city limits, of any city in the European Union (EU). Berlin is also the capital of culture, attracting artists, creative minds, culture lovers, and theatre fans from all over Germany and around the world. The diverse cultural offerings and the colourful hustle and bustle of the city create a very special atmosphere. Opera performances, art exhibitions, theatre productions, concerts, and festivals are all everyday occurrences here. With around 200 museums, collections, and memorial sites, 400 galleries, three opera houses, eight major symphony orchestras, more than 90 cinemas, about 150 theatres and stages, as well as many other cultural institutions, the German capital offers an almost inexhaustible selection of options.

Berlin is the authentic place where world history was made and is rich in buildings and sights to prove it, like the Reichstag and the nearby Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of reunification. The magnificent square, Pariser Platz, in front of the Brandenburg Gate, where world-famous buildings such as the historic Hotel Adlon and the Academy of Arts are located. The 368 metres tall Berlin TV Tower, the tallest building in Berlin, built in the 1960s, offers a unique 360° panoramic view of the city, situated right on Alexanderplatz, the centre of what was once East Berlin. Berlin’s world-famous Museum Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with five major museums showcasing more than 6,000 years of art and cultural history: the Altes Museum, the Neues Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Bode Museum and the Pergamon Museum, which is set to reopen in 2027. The Berlin Wall Memorial, situated on Bernauer Strasse, is a large site featuring an outdoor exhibition, a documentation centre, the Memorial to the Victims of the Division, and the Chapel of Reconciliation. There, an original section of the Wall, complete with a watchtower, shows you what the former border defences looked like, and the famous East Side Gallery, with over 1,300 metres, is the longest surviving section of the Wall, painted by 118 artists from 21 countries, after its fall.
