Participants should have advanced beyond the introductory stage in their thesis work, and be actively engaged in the exploration of an HCI topic. The research areas covered by the DC are the same as the NordiCHI conference generally. Students may come from different academic subjects or disciplines, such as interaction design, computer science, cognitive science, and sociology.
