Excellence in Education. We aim to elevate students to the best version of themselves by providing a solid foundation of knowledge and values for their future lives, no matter whether in academia or in industry.
Integrity & Ethics. We will never compromise on the ethics of our research methods, the dignity with which we treat the participants of our user studies, and the honesty and accuracy of our research.
Inclusion & Openness. We believe in the inherent value of every person and their ideas. We welcome to our section members of all societal, racial, demographic, and religious backgrounds, seeking to combat marginalisation and injustices in our field.
