The large number of visitors confirms the success of this year’s World Usability Day (WUD) in Ingolstadt. After the valuable experience in 2017 and the renewed success of this year’s event, the joint organizers Spiegel Institut and the Department of User Experience Design at the Technical University of Ingolstadt have decided to turn the World Usability Day into an annual fixture in Ingolstadt.

After the WUD is before the WUD, and thus it is now time for this year’s event on November 8: Spiegel Institut and the Department for User Experience Design of the Technical University of Ingolstadt extend an invitation to this second meeting of UX experts.

After working with TISAX to create a joint testing and exchange mechanism for information security in the automotive industry just last year, the Spiegel Institut sites in Mannheim, Ingolstadt, and Munich were assessed according to the demanding certification requirements, receiving high marks: Spiegel Institut has received TISAX certification for the handling and processing of information/prototypes with very high security requirements.

After a new quality management standard was implemented last year, Spiegel Institut has again been granted certification according to ISO 9001:2015 in 2018. Since 2009, Spiegel Institut has been audited by TÜV Süd and has received good marks each time.​​​​​​​

There’s something new on the world wide web: The completely revised web presence of Spiegel Institut is finished. From today, anyone who accesses www.spiegel-institut.de will find completely new content as well as time-tested topics in an updated user-optimized format.
