Organizations
This section lists organizations relevant to human-computer interaction.
It is divided into primary organizations that are dedicated to human-computer interaction, related organizations that are concerned with human-computer interaction as part of a wider activity, and peripheral organizations that are only of marginal interest to HCI professionals. A separate section lists international, regional and national standards organizations.
Organizations dedicated to human-computer interaction are often special interest groups within larger organizations. They are listed separately if they offer membership independent from their parent organization. Otherwise they are included in the description of their parent organization.
