What is User Experience

It is everything the user perceives, feels and thinks while using a product or a service. UX has a direct impact on user satisfaction, and therefore on the company’s business. There are methods and techniques to plan a perfect UX already in the design phase, and to minimise waste of time and resources in the development phase.

What is a challenge?

A challenge is an open innovation initiative that enables companies (profit or non-profit), as well as public administrations, to identify potential solutions to problems (technological, business, or design) and opportunities for innovation by leveraging specialist skills that reside outside their own organisation.

Who are the mentors?

Solver teams are supported by designers and user-researchers, professionals and researchers, who work as mentors. Being a mentor is an excellent opportunity not only to test your skills, but also to meet promising students, other professionals and companies with which you can activate future collaborations.

Testers will take part to activities by providing feedback on ideas and solutions built by solvers. To be a tester does not require any particular skill: just come with your creativity and perspicacity.
