An academic lab at ITU is a physical laboratory that seeks to encourage interaction between faculty, students and external stakeholders. There are both research and teaching labs – often combined. A lab has an academic responsible defining the overall aim and purpose of the lab. Additionally, a lab will typically have a lab manager who handles the daily administration.

The Human Data Interaction Lab focuses on the human factors in the conception, use, and understanding of data. The lab functions as a venue for discussing matters related to human data interaction broadly and invites students and faculty to join forces to better understand these aspects.
