The paper entitled “Aspects of human-centered design in HCI with older adults: Experiences from the field”, on project COLABORAR, was presented at the 5th International Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering 2014, which took place in beautiful Paderborn, in Germany.

Amongst the participants were different scholars with whom we had the opportunity to share our experience regarding the creation, maintenance and management of a user network to support several R&D projects. Cases such as that of COLABORAR are not as frequent as one might expect, so our experience might be helpful to other research groups who wish to create a similar network. This will allow them to adopt truly human-centred processes which, in turn, will foster the development of really useful products.

Because it was accepted and presented at the conference, the paper was included in the conference proceedings book, published by Springer. COLABORAR is very proud!
