Our annual strategy meeting took place last week with a morning full of discussions, retrospection, planning, and optimism; and an afternoon dedicated to presentations by junior researchers - https://t.co/VStFbHbtAM @lasige @FC_UL

[Tech&People Lab @ ULisboa @TechPeopleLab]

Yesterday, at the @lasige lunch talks (every 2 weeks), we featured our @ismarconf #ismar2024 paper on "Crafting Virtual Realities: Designing a VR End-User Authoring Platform for Personalised Exposure Therapy", https://t.co/RpAumsFHsb, preprint at https://t.co/hK9BQpGJtS

Last week, our reading club focused on Braun and Clarke's 2024 paper on "Reporting guidelines for qualitative research: a values-based approach", https://t.co/3BE84U3eIF - a lot of discussions, insights, and clarity. @davgonalves took the lead on this one and did a wonderful job.

Full house for Kathrin Gerling's talk at @lasige @TechPeopleLab @cienciasulisboa! A full day for Kathrin with back to back meetings and presentations, and a pleasure for us to host her. Almost made us forget about #chi2025 reviews and #USAElection2024.

[Filipa Rocha @fmsrocha]

Really proud of Ana and their work! Truly happy to be a part of this team reflecting on ethics in accessibility and inclusive research. #ASSETS2024 @pat_piedade @IsabelN64624097 @hnicolau @iti_larsys @TechPeopleLab

In 3 years of PhD until now, Filipa collaborated with schools in Portugal co-creating and deploying collaborative mixed-ability programming environments. She published at CHI, ASSETS, CSCW, IDC, HRI, and is looking for an internship abroad 👀 DM if you want to connect #assets2024

[Tiago Guerreiro ⚔️ @tjvguerreiro]

Today I dropped by the Interself conference, by @AnnaCiaunica and team, to watch a series of very interesting talks. Was unaware @shn_kasa was presenting (good surprise) - a lot of work I knew from
@plopesresearch and @umd_emd and more human integration projects I didn't know.
