Users and Innovation research INUSE is a cross Aalto university research group that creates in-depth knowledge on the role of users in socio-technical change. Our work focuses on user and designer practices, user innovation communities, co-design arrangements and pathways of user contributions to innovative products. INUSE group has a dual existence. Part of it belongs to the research organization of the department of design, and in part the group integrates researchers from Aalto schools in joint research projects.
The purpose of 7th Feb seminar was to begin the dual mode existence of the group by providing an understanding of what each one in the group is doing to facilitate exchanges both inside and outside the group. All welcome!
