Human-Centered Computing

The HCC Data Lab is conceived as an open space for exchange and collaboration and thus is responsible for organizing our group's participation in events that are open to the general public, such as the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften (Long Night of the Sciences). We also initiate events such as presentations of students' results at the end of the semester and organize and host public talks for which we invite interesting researchers from a range of disciplines. The Events and Talks will be documented on this website.
