Call for Papers
The Human-Centred AI Education and Practice (HCAI-EP) conference from the Ireland ACM SIGCSE Chapter (and supported by the Human-Centred AI MSc HCAIM) is seeking high-quality contributions to research Human-Centred AI in Education and Practice.
Contributions are sought in a variety of categories with an emphasis on high-quality and rigorous work. Researchers have the opportunity to disseminate their work as a full paper, short paper or poster.
The following contributions are sought from the community:
- Papers. Six-page research or practice papers for presentation at the conference and publication in the HCAI-ep proceedings (previously published in ACM Digital Library, See here)
- Short papers. A three to four-page short paper on research or practice. These will be published in the HCAI-ep proceedings (previously published on the conference website, See here. This year this track will be published with conference proceedings).
- Posters. Single-page poster abstract for publication in the HCAI-ep proceedings (previously published in the ACM Digital Library, see here) and poster for presentation at the conference.
Submission for all the above-mentioned contributions should be made via Microsoft CMT [Submit here]. Authors should consult the detailed submission format instructions and guidelines prior to submitting contributions for consideration. These will be available soon.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the conference chairs.
Papers
We invite submissions of research papers on the topic of human-centered AI Education and Practice. Themes of interest include but are not limited to:
| Education | Practice |
| Human-Centred AI Education Pedagogy Human-Centred AI Curriculum Development Assessing and Providing Feedback on Human-Centred AI Assignments Issues of Inclusivity and Diversity Tools to Aid Human-Centred AI Education Ethics in Human-Centred AI Education Policy and How it is Integrated in Human-Centred AI Education | Human-Centred AI in Digital Transformation Human-Centred AI Integration Into Production Models Human-Centred AI in Healthcare Building Trust Using Human-Centred AI Approaches Transparency and XAI for Human-Centred AI Fintech Using Human-Centred AI |
All submissions related to Human Centred AI Education and Practice are welcome, at any stage of education or practice. Papers should describe a rigorously executed piece of work, and include a motivating research question and discussion of prior related work. We welcome:
- Education research papers describing a research experiment in a school, university or informal educational setting. The experiment should be rigorously conducted – if this is the case, null results will still be considered for publication.
- Practice research papers that carefully document design constraints, user considerations, and relevant stakeholder concerns, and justify the design decisions taken in a way that would be useful to other designers, and include details of user testing or other initial measures of effectiveness, transparency, and trustworthiness.
All submitted papers should have a research component and follow the SIGSOFT empirical standards for details on expected components for different avenues of research, for example, a systematic literature review. Papers that authors would like to be considered for presentation at the conference and publication proceedings must be submitted via Microsoft CMT. Authors should consult the detail submission format instructions and guidelines for papers prior to submission. Last year’s instructions can be found here (however should only be used as a guide and are subject to change).
The paper is limited to a maximum of six pages plus one page for references. Note that this is not the same as seven pages: if there is a seventh page, there must be nothing on it but references. If the paper includes figures and tables, the text in them must be readable at 100% magnification and in greyscale. Figures and tables must be readable in the printed version of the paper.
For template and submission guidelines please see: Submission Guidelines (these are last year’s guidelines, however, should only be used as a guide and are subject to change).
Short Papers
Short papers are expected to present unpublished, original work in progress or in the early stages related to empirical or theoretical research relevant to the topics of human-centered AI Education and Practice. Short papers are expected to follow the same format and themes of interest as the full research paper track. The distinction is that the works in this track should satisfy one of the following criteria:
- Student work
- Work in progress
- Pilot findings
The paper title must end with “(Student work)” or “(Work in progress)” or “(Pilot findings)”
For template and submission guidelines please see: Submission Guidelines (these are last year’s guidelines, however, should only be used as a guide and are subject to change).
Posters
We invite posters for presentation and discussion at the conference. The posters should be relevant to Human-Centred AI Education and Practice researchers. Example posters could include initial ideas, experimental designs, pedagogical techniques, tools, or early proposals to address open challenges in Human-Centred AI Education or Practice.
Poster abstracts that presenters would like to be considered for presentation at the conference must be submitted via Microsoft CMT. Authors should consult the detailed submission format instructions and guidelines for poster abstracts prior to submission. Posters are a one page submission.
For template and submission guidelines please see: Submission Guidelines (these are last year’s guidelines, however, should only be used as a guide and are subject to change).
A poster proposal will typically include the following information.
- Title: a title for the poster.
- Proposer: include name, affiliation, and email address. Correspondence related to the conference will be sent by email. Please check your spam filter if you haven’t received an expected notification because the bulk emails generated by the conference software are sometimes blocked.
- Abstract: a description of the poster. The same abstract will also need to be copied into a text box on the submission page. Please be sure that your description is accurate and that both submitted copies (in the PDF poster proposal and in the submission text box) are exactly the same.
- Content: A description of the expected content of the poster, along with an indication of why the topic is significant: why conference attendees will find it interesting.
HCAI-ep will be held face to face and all presenters will be required to present their poster in person during a dedicated time slot. More information will be made available in due course.

Extended papers on Special Issue
Selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit an extended version for consideration in the prestigious International Journal of Human-Computer Studies. Authors of these papers are encouraged to expand upon their original work, incorporating additional insights and findings to enhance the depth and breadth of their research. The extended versions will undergo the journal’s regular peer review process to ensure high-quality contributions that meet the rigorous standards of the publication. For more details on the submission process and guidelines, please visit the journal’s call for papers page here.
