A. There are different ways of distributing the publication costs among the participants of a conference. Dr. Julie Williamson outlines this in her Medium-post discussing those publication costs for a major conference like CHI. Since 2020, MobileHCI chose to go with a model where successful authors pay for the publication of their work, while we tried to keep the registration fees for non-presenting participants lower to encourage a larger number of people to participate in MobileHCI 2021.
A. No, each successful submission needs to pay a publication fee once. The presenting author also needs to register for the main conference.
A. Yes, workshop participants also need to register for the main conference.
A. As with all other successful submissions, we ask you to pay a publication fee. As a bonus, however, this fee comes with a free registration to the workshop for one organizer.

It is the fourth-largest city in France, with 1.331.000 inhabitants (metropolitan area), after Paris, Lyon and Marseille.
Toulouse is the centre of the European aeronautic & spatial industries, with the headquarters of Airbus and the largest european space centre: Toulouse Space Centre (CST), belonging to the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES).

The University of Toulouse, founded in 1229, is the fourth largest in France, and one of the oldest in Europe.

MobileHCI is committed to providing an inclusive environment and we will do our best to accommodate requests for assistance. This page describes the accessibility features of MobileHCI2021, to help you make an informed decision about whether the conference will be accessible to you. Please contact us if your question is not answered here, or if the conference arrangements as described are not sufficient to allow you to attend comfortably.
The Accessibility Chairs for MobileHCI2021 are Anke Brock & João Guerreiro, whose goal is to ensure the conference is accessible to everyone. When you register for the conference, there will be a registration question labeled, "Do you have a disability or special need that impacts your access to MobileHCI virtual conference, publications, or digital resources?" When you answer 'Yes' to this question, another question will open up allowing you to provide more details: “Please tell us if there is anything we can do to ensure your participation is barrier-free. Potential requests include things like sign language interpretation, caption, or help navigating the conference platform with a screen reader. Please note that we strive to be an inclusive, accessible conference, but not all requests can be guaranteed. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet accessibility requests placed after July 31st, 2021. If you have questions, please contact access2021@acm.mobilehci.org.
Please be aware that we will try to accommodate all requests (including those after July 31st), but some accommodations and dietary needs may be difficult to provide at short notice, and we may not be able to accommodate every request.

If you’re a student who wants to attend the MobileHCI 2021 and need help funding your travel, you can apply for one of the following travel grants.
In recognition of Gary Marsden’s contributions and inspiration in HCI4D, ACM SIGCHI established Gary Marsden Student Development Fund in July 2015. The purpose is to support growth of HCI in developing worlds by sponsoring SIGCHI student members who are postgraduate students from and currently based in developing countries to attend HCI relevant events. For those who are currently not student members of SIGCHI, you can apply online to become a member before submitting the application. More information about the Gary Marsden Student Development Fund.
Note: The application submission deadlines are 15th of February, May, August and November each year.
The SIGCHI Student Travel Grant (SSTG) program is intended to enable students who lack other support opportunities to attend CHI and other SIGCHI sponsored or co-sponsored conferences. This travel grant is intended to support students whose intention is to present at MobileHCI 2020, not just attend. The goal is to pre-approve students for grants before a conference’s earliest submission deadline so that if a student gets a submission accepted, that student can count on having a grant awarded for travel to the conference.
