Nordic Ergonomics Society

NordiCHI is a biennial conference functioning as the main Nordic forum for human-computer interaction research. NordiCHI is the meeting place for researchers from academia and industry, designers, practitioners, educators and others from a broad range of traditions and communities; therefore the conference takes HCI in the non-limited sense of research and practice addressing the design and use of interactive technology. The NordiCHI conference is a joint effort initiated by Nordic HCI organisations.

In January, the presidency of NES was passed over to the Norwegian Society of Human Factors and Ergonomics - NEHF from Iceland. I hereby wish to thank the Icelandic President Torunn Sveinsdottir and Secretary Svava Jonsdottir for the excellent work they have done in their presidency period.

I look forward to continue developing NES further with the excellent NES board and the NES secretary Anne Bolstad. The board has this year worked further with a new strategic plan and the finished plan will be presented on the web site in June. The purpose of the strategy plan is to ensure that NES will fulfill its goals as well as possible.
