The Human-Computer Interaction Association (AIPO) and the Latin American Center for Studies in Informatics now include members of the Unicaucan academic community in their decision-making and working spaces.

Institutions such as the Human-Computer Interaction Association (AIPO) and the Latin American Center for Studies in Informatics have appointed graduates from the PhD Program in Electronic Sciences at the University of Cauca to their leadership and working groups. As such, the Human-Computer Interaction Association (AIPO) announced the appointment of Professor Gustavo Eduardo Constaín Moreno to its Board of Directors, where he will represent Latin America. Likewise, a Working Group has been established within the Latin American Center for Studies in Informatics, composed of graduates from this postgraduate program and Professor and researcher César Alberto Collazos.

The Human-Computer Interaction Association (AIPO) is a renowned open academic organization that promotes the study and development of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in Spain and Ibero-America. With the appointment of Professor Gustavo Eduardo Constaín Moreno as its representative for Latin America, the association strengthens ties between researchers, educators, and professionals in the region and this prestigious academic network.

Gustavo Eduardo Constaín Moreno, a graduate of the PhD in Electronic Sciences at the University of Cauca and an active member of the IDIS research group (Research and Development in Software Engineering) from the Faculty of Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications, has extensive experience in research and teaching in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. His leadership and expertise are expected to contribute to AIPO’s growth and consolidation in Latin America, driving initiatives that support academic development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the dissemination of knowledge in the field.

For its part, AIPO—committed to fostering research and innovation—celebrates the inclusion of Professor Gustavo Eduardo Constaín Moreno, who will play a key role in expanding the network across the region and generating opportunities for professionals interested in this discipline.

Meanwhile, the Human-Computer Interaction Working Group of the Latin American Center for Studies in Informatics (CLEI), known as GT11, has been formed. This group includes Professor César Alberto Collazos from the Systems Engineering Program, along with PhD graduates in Electronic Sciences Vanessa Agredo, Mauricio Ramírez, Gustavo Eduardo Constaín Moreno, and Andrés Solano. The group aims to strengthen teaching-learning processes, promote research activities in the Human-Computer Interaction area, and serve as a space for discussion and reflection on the future of the field at the Ibero-American level.
