The Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program will organize between April and June a series of webinars titled “User Experience Design Talks @CMU Portugal”. This initiative follows the success of the Data Science Talks @CMUPortugal that took place in early 2021, gathering more than 200 participants.
The webinar series’ primary goal is to anticipate some of the main topics that will be discussed in the Advanced Training Program in UxD, built in partnership with Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT NOVA), Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL), Instituto Superior Técnico (Técnico Lisboa, ULisboa) and the Carnegie Mellon HCI Department.
The three sessions will be hosted by speakers from Carnegie Mellon University and will be held online, offering a look into some cutting-edge topics in research and innovation in HCI that will be later on adressed under the CMU Portugal Advanced Training Program in UxD. The first session will take place on April 27th, 2021.
Registration is free but mandatory. All participants will receive the login credentials the day before the event.
