The event is hosted by paluno professor Stefan Schneegaßtogether with Michael Prilla (UDE) and Max Pascher (UDE and TU Dortmund).

MuC is held annually and serves as a central platform for exchanging ideas on human‑centred design, interactive systems, and digital innovation. It provides space for presenting current research results, fosters collaboration between academia and industry, and deepens our understanding of how people interact with information and communication technologies.

This year’s theme, “Transforming Interactions“, highlights the relationships between societies and interactive technologies, along with their potential for transformations. The term “transforming,” as a verb, emphasizes the role of HCI researchers and practitioners in shaping individual, social, and collective interactions, while as an adjective, it prompts us to critically examine the transformational power of digital technologies.
