We are excited to announce the first steps to create a UXnet chapter in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio de Janeiro has the leading UX computer science and design research universities in Brazil, has a strong participation in the HCI and human factors scene, but few integration research & local industry. We think the UX network in Rio can bring together research and local industry, and promote collaboration, knowledge-sharing, innovation, in creative ways. We have invited researcher centers, schools, professionals, students and organizations to join the UX network and help to define its goals and actions. They have share much enthusiasm about the idea.
We are planning to have our first meeting soon. Please check out UXrio on Facebook to download the draft proposal presentation “Por que criar a rede UXnet no Rio?” (Why do create a UXnet in Rio?). We invite you to get involved and stay tuned with the first steps of the network at: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/UXrio/73719854742?ref=nf
