Vavik, Tom
Researcher
I am professor at Institute of Design at The Oslo School of Architecture and Design. For over 35 years I have been teaching Ergonomics and now Universal Design to design students. I have experience in lecturing these topics at many universities and organizations in addition to conferences.
The last years I have published books and articles and have for four years been leader of the Design for All category in the annual Design Award program organized by the Norwegian Design Council. Since 2012 I have been a member of Management Committee (MC) in EUs COST Action no. TU1204 – People Friendly Cities in a Data Rich World.
My research interest is how to teach user centred design, social sustainability and inclusive design processes.
