Fraunhofer Portugal AICOS welcomed a group of Master Degree students who will develop their theses in our research centre.
Each year, Fraunhofer offers this opportunity, by integrating students in its R&D projects. A welcome workshop was prepared for them, in which the main procedures related to Human Resources compliance and Equipment management were explained. Then, Fraunhofer’s main R&D projects were presented, followed by important tips for the development of the theses; important resources and tools were also shared. This will help students organize their work and, on the other hand, learning how to use specific tools for project management will certainly be very useful in the near future, whether they stay at Fraunhofer or carry out their professional activities elsewhere.
And the workshop ended wonderfully with the presentation of COLABORAR. Students got to know that we can put them in touch with senior users. This will allow students to understand requirements and to later test their applications. They also learned that they can always call the Human-Computer Interaction team for guidance and validation of test protocols. We are glad that COLABORAR will support them in this phase of great significance. We are certain that they will enjoy working in the development of software for seniors and have their help in the process of human-centred design.
COLABORAR wishes them good work and hopes they enjoy this time with us and the network!
