Abstract

Asia’s Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) landscape is rapidly evolving, yet it faces distinct challenges in curriculum development, research establishment, and career navigation. This panel discussion, hosted by Asia SIGCHI Committee (ASC) at CHI2025, will bring together distinguished experts to address these challenges and explore strategies for fostering a robust and inclusive HCI community in Asia. Panelists will discuss the integration of culturally relevant content in HCI education, approaches to enhancing research visibility on international platforms, and initiatives to bridge gaps between academic training and industry expectations. Through an engaging discussion and audience interaction, the panel aims to identify actionable solutions, promote collaboration, and inspire future initiatives that strengthen HCI’s growth across the region. Participants will gain valuable insights into overcoming systemic barriers while building sustainable and impactful HCI programs tailored to Asia’s unique sociocultural dynamics. This panel seeks to advance the global relevance and contributions of HCI in Asia. © 2025 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
