Iceland. This is a perfect opportunity to visit Iceland and to take part
in a traditional international conference where practitioners and
researchers meet and discuss the latest ergonomical issues.
The Nordic Ergonomics & Human Factors Society (NES) conference
brings together researchers and practitioners from all over the world,
all with interest in ergonomics.

The theme of the conference is Ergonomics for Equality. Equality is
important in all forms of ergonomics, whether it concerns gender, race,
size, usability or other aspects. Ergonomics should not seperate groups
or users, it should combine them. In order to promote research we
facilitate the sharing of experiences and results, work, ideas and the
formation of friendships and networks in the field of ergomomics.

We welcome all who are interested in the different aspects of
ergonomics; mental, organizational, social, physical and technical to
come and take part in the discussion of the latest and most important
ergonomics topics.
