Explore user research methods and techniques: 

Bridging RE and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), we aim to delve into methods and techniques that contribute to designing software that aligns with user needs and fosters user satisfaction, respectively, user experience.

User-Centric and Empathic Design: 

Emphasize the importance of empathy in RE by discussing strategies that actively engage diverse user groups (e.g., including elderly individuals, children, or people with disabilities). By understanding and valuing the perspectives and emotions of these users, we can create more inclusive and accessible solutions.

Interdisciplinary Learning:

Assess the knowledge and skills that Requirements Engineers must possess to gain empathy with the users. We will explore insights from other disciplines, such as psychology, to enhance our understanding of user behavior, needs, and emotional contexts.

Shift Focus Back to Users: 

Amidst the rising emphasis on AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), our goal is to refocus attention on users. We will discuss how these advanced tools can be leveraged to enhance user experiences without overshadowing the primary objective: a genuinely user-centered design.
