For a research project, we are looking for a group of students who is interested in collaborating with the Swiss Competence Center against Forced Marriages. The student will be supervised by Nimra Ahmed.
Study Description
The Federal Department against Forced Marriages (Statesecretariat Human Rights & Migration) is an NGO that has been assisting individuals affected by forced marriages since 2001. They have been managing cases manually due to the absence of a suitable case management system. This not only makes the consultation experience less than ideal but also communicating with other related agencies (Immigration police, women's shelter, KESB) is made difficult.
The goal of this project is to come up with a case management system that addresses the everyday issues of the NGO, facilitates communication with other agencies, automatically creates reports, and provides statistical insights. This project consists of research (20%), design (20%), and development (60%) and is suitable for groups of 3+ students.
To Apply
Send an email to Nimra Ahmed (nimra@ifi.uzh.ch) with the subject "Masterproject: CoCFM”. Your application should include a 1) a short cover letter 2) a brief CV (please mention whether you have taken the HCI or POC Lecture and/or HCI Seminar), and 3) your transcripts (grades of all the courses you have taken so far in your MSc/BSc studies).
