ICT and People

In an increasingly digital world, the connection between technology and its users is more critical than ever.

Our ICT and People research flagship is dedicated to understanding and shaping this relationship, ensuring that technological advancement serves human needs.

Our work focuses on guiding the entire lifecycle of technology—from initial concept to design, development, and management—to ensure it is built for and with the people who use it. We build essential knowledge and practical experience that empower people to participate fully and confidently in a digital future.

We believe the best solutions are built together. We partner with a diverse range of collaborators including Students and Educators, Fellow Researchers, Small to Medium-Sized Businesses (SMEs), Industry Leaders, and Government Agencies.

Together, we co-design innovative solutions tailored to their specific challenges. Our goal is to ensure that the technologies we help create are not only powerful but also usable, desirable, and effective, driving real-world impact.

Our research and development are grounded in proven methodologies. We are experts in user-centred design, and we are steadfastly committed to building technologies that are safe, responsible, and reliable, fostering trust and encouraging adoption
