How can interactive technology help to turn corridors or break rooms in schools into places to meet and connect with very diverse people? The FWF-funded project “DivComp Spaces”, led by Christopher Frauenberger from the HCI at PLUS, is taking on this question.

From May to June 2021, Prof. Manuel Schabus, together with Dr. Cristina Florea, Jasmin Preiß and Monika Angerer, investigated how the pandemic affected parents’ experiences with their children before, during and after birth. During the online study, complete data sets of 1040 Austrian and 1080 German parents were collected.
