About the Future Web Services design research project

Over the last two months, we have carried out 16 pop-ups and co-design workshops as a University-wide series of community engagements. This user research exercise is informing our work around the University website service and the CMS to be delivered by 2020/2021.

We invite your participation at the last two service design workshops happening within this week. It will ideally take 3 hours of your time, but we would also welcome you if you can only make it for one hour. These sessions are set up to be easy, fun and creative for anyone to come together to co-design future web services with peers.

If you have any involvement in web content in the University and you are interested in participating, please accept this invitation and come along to one of the sessions indicated for an hour or longer if it fits your timetable. Otherwise, last-minute participation is welcome so just pop in!

If you know of anyone else who might be interested in participating, please spread the word as we want to ensure we include a wide range of people.

Please feel free to ask any questions. We shall look forward to the collaborations with you! Write to me to arrange for service co-design research workshop specifically for your team: priscilla.nainby@ed.ac.uk
