CfP: NordiCHI 2026 Workshop "The Many Facets of Eudaimonia: Bridging the 
Gap Between Theory and Design Perspectives"

Dear HCI community,

We are excited to host the Workshop on Eudaimonic Design in 
Human-Computer-Interaction as part of the NordiCHI Conference!

DETAILS
https://eudaimonicdesign2026.init-owl.de/
Workshop date: October 3rd
at the NordiCHI 
<https://sites.uwasa.fi/nordichi2026/program/workshops/>Conference 
October 3rd, Vaasa, Finland

ABOUT
Eudaimonia denotes long-term well-being with a focus on doing well, 
combining themes of excellence, growth, meaning, and authenticity, in 
contrast to hedonic well-being, which has a short-term focus on feeling 
well. With roots in philosophy and extensive psychological research 
building upon the original philosophical concept, striving for 
eudaimonic well-being has long been recognized as one energy that drives 
us, and has recently emerged as a ‘grand challenge’ for HCI research. 
Its complexity requires a clear, shared methodological foundation for 
both researchers experienced in this area and those newly engaging with 
it. In this workshop, we aim to provide the room to collaboratively work 
toward this goal, by building a shared conceptual model that helps 
establish common ground, identify synergies, and lay out future steps to 
further eudaimonic well-being through technology

WORKSHOP TOPICS
We invite all researchers with an interest in furthering eudaimonia in 
and through technology to partake in the workshop.
If you are interested, we encourage you to submit a 2-4 page PDF in the 
ACM master template (single-column) via email. Contributions may 
address, synthesize, or offer positions or ideas on the theoretical 
foundations of eudaimonia, the design or evaluation of eudaimonic 
technology, or the conceptualization of eudaimonic HCI.

We look forward to your contributions and to meeting you at NordiCHI!

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.
Kind regards,
Eileen Wemmer
