I am happy to share that with the joint effort of the Nordic HCI community, there is a website that accommodates Nordic reception at CHI, yearly CHI accepted works, a list of contributing institutions, and pre-chi events. www.chi-nordics.eu

Huge thanks to the organizers (Teresa Hirzle, Tor-Salve Dalsgaard, Qiushi Zhou and Jonathan Sutton), and I look forward to the Nordic pre-chi 2026 in Helsinki.

As always, engaging with the local HCI community was a great pleasure and fun, and I am happy to see this event becoming a part of our yearly gathering as a community.

This event provides an opportunity for researchers from the Nordics to present their accepted CHI papers and discuss them in a smaller circle before CHI. This time, I presented two of our recently accepted CHI publications:

Over the last two days, we (Pooria Ghavamian, Xiaoyan Zhou, Alessandro Iop and myself) from the Immersive Technologies Lab (lnkd.in/dWExK4gt) at @kthuniversity.bsky.social attended the annual Nordic pre-chi event.
