Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute is proud to be hosting TEI'11, the fifth international conference dedicated to presenting the latest results in tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction. It is being held 23rd to 26th January 2011 in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.
The work presented at TEI addresses HCI issues, design, interactive art, user experience, tools and technologies, with a strong focus on how computing can finally bridge atoms and bits into cohesive interactive systems. The intimate size of this single-track conference provides a unique forum for exchanging ideas and presenting innovative work through talks, interactive exhibits, demos, hands-on studios, posters, art installations and performances.

A few days before Christmas 2009, the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute (Madeira-ITI) was established by its founding partners, the University of Madeira and Madeira Tecnopolo, and with honorary associate Carnegie Mellon University. The new institute is supported by the regional government of Madeira and is planning and creating its new home at the premises of Madeira Tecnopolo.


The institute has the objective to excel in research and education in the areas of interactive technologies and computer science. It develops scientific research in collaboration with both academic partners and industry, aiming to explore the realm of computer technology for the purpose of supporting human activities and creating novel products and services.
