The Mjolnir team has come to an end on December 31, 2017. We are now

Mjolnir is an Inria research team created in January 2015 in partnership with Université Lille 1 within the Joint Research Unit UMR 9189 CNRS-Centrale Lille-Université Lille 1, CRIStAL.

Our research aims at producing original ideas, fundamental knowledge and practical tools to inspire, inform and support the design of human-computer interactions.

We favor the vision of computers as tools, we would like them to empower people, and we believe this can only be achieved by supporting both transparent (from a cognitive perspective) and analytic use. Our short to medium term objectives are to investigate ways to leverage human perceptual, control and learning skills in this perspective.

Follow these links to find out who we are, what we have done in the recent past, and why we decided on this name for the team.
