TRACTION Opening: Seminar on Theory in Human-Computer Interaction

Kasper Hornbæk

You are warmly invited to the grand opening of TRACTION.

TRACTION, our new centre for Theoretical Research in Human-Computer Interaction at the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, was established through a prestigious VILLUM Investigator Grant of 30 million DKK awarded to Professor Kasper Hornbæk. This new centre is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of how we understand and theorise human interaction with technology.

Come celebrate this exciting milestone with us!
The event will feature engaging talks from distinguished guest speakers, a panel, and workshops, followed by a celebratory reception with delicious snacks and excellent company.

Please sign up if you plan to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
