With the Research Seminar: Human-Centered Systems (formerly known as "Information Systems and Service Design Seminar"), we aim to provide students with the possibility to independently work on state-of-the-art research topics in addition to the knowledge gained in the lectures of Prof. Mädche. The Human-Centered Systems Lab (h-lab) headed by Prof. Mädche focuses in research, education, and innovation on designing human-centered systems for better work and life. It is positioned at the intersection of Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

In the seminar, participants will get deeper insights in a contemporary research topic in the field of information systems or human-computer interaction.The actual seminar topics will be derived from current research activities of the research group.  Our research assistants offer a rich set of topics from our research topics. Students can select among these topics individually depending on their personal interests. The seminar is carried out in the form of a literature-based thesis project. In the seminar, students will acquire the important methodological skills of running a systematic literature review.
