Events and seminars
Events
Computer Science hosted and organised the 35th International BCS Human-Computer Interaction Conference at Keele University on 11-13 July 2022. The conference theme was "Towards a Human-Centred Digital Society" and the 3-day event comprised a full programme of workshops, doctoral consortium, keynotes, parallel track presentations and an interactions gallery. Computer Science staff and PhD researchers made significant contributions to the programme, presenting and exhibiting HCI research relating to interaction design, e-learning, digital health and digital heritage.
Seminars
We host regular seminars that are usually open to everyone, including Keele staff and postgraduate, masters and undergraduate students. Our staff and researchers also actively contribute to other seminar series, particularly the Data Science Network seminar series, as well as contributing invited to external seminars.
