Most departments at CERN develop software but we are struggling to make interfaces user-friendly. The User Experience Community at CERN is supporting anyone who is interested in the usability of their products. We organise user testing events, brainstorming sessions and knowledge sharing meetings.

We will have a series of presentations that go deeper into how we make experiences the upcoming months.

Memory and usability
April 20th, 15:30 - 61/1-009 (Room C)
What do people remember when you ask them to sketch the EDH interface on a empty sheet of paper? Why do we only remember specific objects and what does this tell about usability?

Don’t listen to users
May 28th, 16:30 - 1/1-025
We often fall into the trap of asking users what they want. But can we really trust them? Research says no. In this talk, we will learn how to find out what users really want.

The experience of music
June 22nd, 15:30 - 61/1-009 (Room C)
Music has changed a lot during the last century. Why is this? How do we experience music and how is this similar to the experience of other kinds of art, entertainment or interfaces?

All presentations are open to everyone so feel free to come. Find more information at: http://ux-community.web.cern.ch/.
