The CHI Basic Research Symposium presents an opportunity for researchers from different disciplines to exchange new developments and insights from their own fields and thereby expand their vision of human-computer interaction. This two-day event is a cross between a mini-conference and a workshop. Participants are selected by a program committee that reviews submitted position papers to bring together a diverse group of researchers with innovative research underway. The symposium itself includes interactive research presentations, group discussions around common themes, and small-group break-out activities.

The mission of the CHI Basic Research Symposium is to provide a venue where researchers conducting ground-breaking, controversial, and emerging research can discuss that research with a diverse group of peers.

Our vision for this year's Basic Research Symposium is for each participant to leave with a better understanding of the research methods, goals, and frontiers of a wider range of HCI disciplines. Each participant should contribute to the collective understanding and leave with new ideas for conducting, integrating, and applying research.

The BRS welcomes two types of submissions:

• Position Papers. Up to ten pages introducing your field and your work. Authors of accepted position papers will be given time to present their work in an interactive discussion format.
• Position statements. Up to two pages introducing you and your interests.
