Human-IST Research Center

The project

The Human-IST Research Center offers research and advanced teaching in the field of human-machine interfaces. Thanks to this research center, the new relational paradigms between humans and machines are now part of the academic training of science and information technology scientists.

The Foundation's commitment

The Human-IST Research Center was established in 2015 thanks to the support of the University of Fribourg Foundation. The creation of this Center aligns with the University of Fribourg's profile due to its strongly interdisciplinary nature, as well as with current needs and reflections on the role of new technologies in our societies, by placing a principal focus on the human element.

Acknowledgments

We would like to express our special thanks to our faithful donors, Mr Willi Liebherr and Mr Gustav Stenbolt, who have recognised the potential of this project and whose support allowed Human-IST to become officially an institute in 2017. They make a tremendous contribution to supporting the University of Fribourg and its researchers.
