Outreach activities
The Interaction Analysis and Modelling Lab regards outreach activity as an essential part of its research. As such, the group as a whole, as well as individual members, participate in a number of outreach and dissemination activities. These include:
The Web Ergonomics Lab have been involved in the organisation of a number of Workshops, Conferences, and Panel Sessions. Some events have been one-year activities whilst for some conferences, the lab has a continuing involvement in the organisation and development of the conference series.

A key strength in the Interaction Analysis and Modelling Lab is the willingness to share and disseminate knowledge and skills between its members. The Journal Paper Review Group is one such mechanism for sharing experience and information to students who are studying with the group.
Further, the Human Factors Interest Group – now run by Manchester Informatics – is a University wide initiative – started by the Lab – on human factors constituted from people interested in the intersection between technology and people.
