Collaboration and Cooperation
In order to solve the world’s biggest problems, we all have to work together. In 2023, we will focus working together to create solutions, both globally and locally. Let’s connect our work to the big problems of our world and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS)
World Usability Initiative
The goal of the World Usability Initiative (WUI) is to connect the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and the User Experience (UX) community and everyone who believes that great design is inclusive and usable by all, to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by establishing World Usability Day as an internationally observed day, listed on the United Nations calendar. Help us achieve this goal!

World Usability Day Aalen 2023
As every year, there is a theme for World Usability Day in 2023, and this year’s theme is “Collaboration and Cooperation”. More than ever, we need to work together to solve our world’s biggest problems. In 2023, we will focus on collaboration and cooperative work that produces real solutions together. At WUD Aalen, we will certainly address areas other than the annual theme. Either way: you can be curious!
