About the DESIGN group

The DESIGN group studies the design and use of information systems.

The group's research focuses on the design of information systems that will support users in their daily work and other practices, such as travel, play, Internet use, health care or taxes. We have a multidisciplinary approach, combining technological and socio-cultural knowledge about design, use, and users. This forms the basis for the design of information into visual and physical representations.
