Since 2000, l'Association Francophone de l'Interaction Humain-Machine (AFIHM) organizes every two years the Rencontres des Jeunes Chercheuses et Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC) in Human Computer Interaction. This event follows a series of successful doctoral meetups that trained dozens of future professional HCI researchers and practitioners in a convivial and motivating environment where they live and work together for a few days. You can have a look at the previous RJC editions.
The RJC address PhD students, and, on a limited basis, Master students in HCI. After the success of the two last editions involving French and Italian young researchers, the RJC will continue to be held in English to facilitate the exchanges between French and and non-French speaking PhD students.
The 2024 edition will focus on HCI and sustainability and will cover:
The RJC IHM 2024 are supported by the AFIHM (Association Francophone d'Interaction Humain-Machine – French Association of Human-Computer Interaction) and our sponsors (CESI, Inria, LISN, Noesya, tobii).
If you are interested but not have the means to attend (e.g. master student interested in doing a PhD but without funding at the moment), send your application with a message that describes your situation. Depending on the amount of participants we have and final costs, we might be able to give scholarhips for students to cover registration and transport fees.
Bus connection between the train station La Rochelle and the Village de Vacances on September 30th and October 4th will be provided. More information soon.
Ph.D and Master students working in the field of HCI are welcome to participate. The number of places is limited, the 20% of places is reserved to students from Universities outside France. To apply, we ask you to submit a one-page article (pdf in a two columns format, following the ACM “sigconf” publication template) which includes: the title of your Master or PhD thesis, a summary of your thesis, and a short motivation on why participating in the meetup would be beneficial. Please send your application to Beatrice Biancardi (bbiancardi@cesi.fr) and Vanessa Peña-Araya (vanessa.pena-araya@inria.fr).
The selection will be based on the following rules:
