New Initiatives at ICMI: Mentorship in Focus
In its 2024 iteration, the general chairs of SIGCHI's International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) decided to launch a New Initiatives programme at the conference. The goal was to give new ideas a place to form within the ICMI community, so that not only seasoned members had a say, but also, newcomers could voice their needs and find an academic home they would like to return to and contribute to for many years. Ultimately, the question motivating this programme was: How can we make ICMI an even more welcoming place for newcomers, early career researchers, and people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives?
