The China Distinguished Human Computer Interaction Speaker Series and the 2010 China Human Computer Interaction Symposium bring together the HCI research community in China, exposes community members, especially students, to some of the leading research going on both inside and outside of China, and catalyzes new research connections and exchanges between the community members. This will be accomplished by a set of 7-10 guest lectures over the 2009-2010 academic year that will rotate among the key HCI research institutions in Beijing, China and a 2 days symposium in March 2010.
