Collaboration and Cooperation (OA ebook)

This anthology collects contributions from the 2023 World Usability Day event in Bolzano. The event brought international attention to collaboration and cooperation at the centre of local debate, alongside topics such as usability, co-design and user experience. Twelve Italian and international speakers, designers from companies, the world of activism and academia, shared their reflections and projects on the transformative power and impact of collaborative and co-design practices.

WUD Bolzano has been an opportunity to reflect on how these practices have helped to bridge the gaps between science and society, academia and industry, as well as between individuals, communities and society, bringing new forms of awareness and cooperation to work, relationships and everyday life.

The WUD Bolzano is organised by Letizia Bollini, professor of Communication & Interaction Design at the Faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, with Chiara Facchini, user experience designer and Matteo Moretti, professor of Info-Design at the Department of Design, Architecture, and Planning at the University of Sassari/Alghero, and co-founder of Sheldon.studio specialised in datadesign, in collaboration with NOI TechPark and Exeen.it a Milan-based company that promotes digital innovation in the business field.

WUD Bolzano is a side event of SFSCON 2023.
