Welcome to the INUSE Research Blog. The Users and Innovation research group INUSE is a cross Aalto university research group that creates in-depth knowledge on the role of users in socio-technical change. Our work focuses on user and designer practices, co-design arrangements, user innovation communities and pathways of user contributions to innovative products. These focus areas contribute to our broader reference areas of research on lead-users, user-centred design, participatory design, living labs, peer production, open source development and social study of technology. In fact, by now we’ve devoted over 40 years of effort on these topics when you count us together.
