1st European Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval
           - 4th July at the BCS HCI2011 Conference, Newcastle, UK

Key Points:
---------------
- REMINDER: Submission Deadline: 1st May 2011
- We want to stimulate the European HCIR community with a series of workshops similar to successful HCIR events in the states.
- Details are online: http://fitlab.eu/euroHCIR2011/

Call for Papers:
--------------------
In common with the wider HCIR community, this workshop will be focused on submissions based on, but not limited to, the following topics:

           • Novel interaction techniques for information retrieval.
           • Modelling and evaluation of interactive information retrieval.
           • Exploratory search and information discovery.
           • Information visualization and visual analytics.
           • Applications of HCI techniques to information retrieval needs in specific domains.
           • Ethnography and user studies relevant to information retrieval and access.
           • Scale and efficiency considerations for interactive information retrieval systems.
           • Relevance feedback and active learning approaches for information retrieval.

Industry - The enterprise and web search experiences from professionals, such as UX designers etc, are a key part of understanding excellence in HCIR design. We are inviting case studies and position papers that go beyond a simple narrative to describe lessons learned for the community.
**Industry submissions will be evaluated more in terms of their contributions to lessons learned than through pure academic merit.**

Academia - From the research community, we are interested in late breaking results, or challenging, controversial, or insightful position papers that might shape the way the HCIR community thinks ahead.
** Academic contributions will be evaluated in terms of their contribution to the thinking and discussion for the workshop and the community.**
