Professor Anne Anderson, Director of the PACCIT Programme, University of Glasgow

PACCIT - People @ the Centre of Communication and Information Technologies is a research programme funded by ESRC, EPSRC & DTI. We will explore the question of 'how does diversity impact' by sharing some of the experiences of a number of PACCIT projects, and exploring how the projects overcame the challenges of genuine user-engagement across their diverse user groups. We want conference participants to come along and share their own experiences of working with diverse user groups
