10 In addition, creativity in practice is a valuable skill to break taken-for-granted schema and dealing with uncertainty both in high and low and medium income countries developing new modalities of work. In an interconnected world with multifaceted views on complex challenges, creativity is a component of human activity, which ergonomics and human factor need to take into account in order to improve human condition and conference objective is to provide a platform for the human factors community to meet, exchange INFORMATION on research projects and generate knowledge and ideas fostering theoretical and applied areas of Human Factors and Italian Society of Ergonomics (SIE) is pleased to host the 20th international IEA conference. Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of the interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theoretical principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize well-being and overall performance.
