Cultural Usability

Innovating the quality of Information and Communication Technology through an understanding of culturally sensitive aspects of usability evaluation methods (UEMs)

The project is hosted at the Dept. of Informatics, CBS, by Torkil Clemmensen. The project has participants from Indian Institute of Technology, ChineseAcademy of Science, Computer science at University of Copenhagen and at RoskildeUniversity. From industry participates individuals from Snitker &Co, Nokia and Honeywell.

This project aims to investigate the impact of culture on the results of established methods of usability testing. The production and use of technologically advanced information and communication applications are no longer restricted to the Western world, and there are indications that usability testing procedures developed for use in, e.g., Europe or the US do not give reliable results in countries such as India, China or Malaysia. This project is an in-depth investigation of the cultural specifics that go into usability test situations in three countries: Denmark, India and China. In a second phase we want to explore possible developments of the testing methods in order to avoid cultural bias and produce comparable results across countries of the world. The proposed project is a collaborative one, involving senior researchers in all three countries where testing will occur, as well as advisers from world wide companies based in US and Europe and from institutions elsewhere.

Euro-India

The project Euro-India's is an EU funded project that has the main objective to scientifically and comprehensively conduct an in-depth knowledge mapping of India’s ICT R&D competencies with a view to understanding and identifying future technological trajectories. The project aims to provide better understanding of Indian ICT R&D capabilities from two perspectives. First, it provides the framework for better ICT R&D deployment and alignment between the two regions. Secondly, the project aims to provide input to the ongoing annual policy dialogue between EU and India.

The project is managed by Department of Informatics. Mogens Kühn Pedersen from Copenhagen Business School is scientific manager of the project and contact person from CBS.
