Die 2001 ins Leben gerufene Konferenz "Mensch und Computer" (MuC) ist die größte Konferenzreihe zur Mensch-Computer-Interaktion in Europa. MuC bietet Teilnehmern aus Wissenschaft und Industrie eine Plattform für Beiträge und Diskussionen zu innovativen Formen der Interaktion zwischen Mensch und digitaler Technik, zu menschzentrierten Entwicklungsmethoden, interaktiven Anwendungen und anderen Themen im Spannungsfeld zwischen Nutzern, Teams und Communities einerseits und den eingesetzten Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien andererseits. Ziel der Konferenz ist es, innovative Forschungsergebnisse zu diskutieren, den Informationsaustausch zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis zu fördern, Forschungsaktivitäten und Ausbildung anzuregen und Wissenschaft, Praxis und Öffentlichkeit für die Relevanz der menschen- und aufgabenorientierten Technikgestaltung zu sensibilisieren. Vorwiegend englischsprachige Fachbeiträge und deren Veröffentlichung in der "ACM Digital Library" oder "Digital Library of the GI" fördern die weltweite Sichtbarkeit der wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse von MuC.
