These conferences are the primary meeting place for human-computer interaction researchers in Europe, although they also draw delegates from further afield, with this year's conference attracting participants from 21 countries worldwide. This conference report has dual aims: the first section gives a student view of some of the highlights of the conference, while the second reflects on more general issues relating to students' experience of this and other similar conferences - an experience which we think differs from that of more established members of the human-computer interaction community.
