The International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications (CHIRA) aims to bring together professionals, academics, and students interested in advancing research and practical applications of interaction design & human-computer interaction. Four parallel tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Computer-Human Interaction, including Human Factors and Information Systems, Interactive Devices, Interaction Design, and Adaptive and Intelligent Systems.
Papers describing original work on advanced methods, prototypes, systems, tools, and techniques as well as general survey papers indicating future directions are encouraged. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference by one of the authors and published in the Proceedings of CHIRA, which will be placed in at least one Digital Library and sent for indexation by the major international indexes.
Submission topics:
Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:
1. Human Factors for Interactive Systems, Research, And Applications
2. Interactive Devices
3. Interaction Design
4. Adaptive And Intelligent Systems
Keynote speakers:
CHIRA 2025 will have several invited keynote speakers, who are internationally recognized experts in their areas. Their names are not yet confirmed.

On July 1st at 3:00 PM, the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Aveiro branch, will host the talk "Blockchain4Fishing" in its auditorium, a cutting-edge session focused on traceability in the fisheries sector through the application of emerging technologies.
How can we ensure that the fish on your plate is truly what the label says?
This talk brings together blockchain, IoT, digital identities, and DNA analysis to revolutionize traceability in the fisheries industry. By combining DNA barcoding with immutable blockchain records, it becomes possible to:
- Scientifically verify the species and origin of fish at any point along the value chain;
- Effectively combat food fraud and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing;
- Automate verification processes through smart contracts;
- Strengthen compliance with European regulations such as the "EUDR";
- Increase consumer trust and market value of certified products.
Prototypes developed with academic and industrial partners will also be showcased, including IoT sensors on fishing vessels and integration with certification and control systems. The talk will conclude with a vision for a digital ecosystem in the blue economy, where technology and science work together toward sustainability and transparency.
Guest Speaker:
Professor and researcher of the Project Blockchain.pt, João Carlos Ferreira has over 30 years of experience in applied digital technologies. He is one of the pioneers in blockchain education in Portugal, having created and taught over 20 blockchain-related courses, including in international programs in Norway, Italy, Nepal, Mozambique, and Uganda. He is also Vice-Chair of IEEE Blockchain Portugal, a member of the IEEE Action for Industry Committee, and an evaluator for European blockchain and AI research projects.
