How initiatives are selected
Projects should fit WUI’s mission and capacity.
WUI should focus on projects where it can bring distinctive value: global network, usability expertise, HCI/UX credibility, plain language, accessibility, convening power, education, recognition, or public visibility.
Strong projects have a clear owner, public-interest relevance, local or contextual grounding, a defined outcome, realistic resources, and the potential to become a reusable model, case study, toolkit, curriculum, or partnership.
