Other HF networks, useful links
There are several professional networks and organizations focusing on HF.

  • The Swedish Human Factors Network, members of HFC, can join for free at courses,
    seminars and meetings. (User: hfn, Password: human). HFN has a free space for the HFC meetings. To receive the free space, HFN must send the request to HFC who approves and registers as HFN participant.
