M-ITI operates in the interdisciplinary domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and contributions from the disciplines of Computer Sciences, Psychology and Social Sciences, and Design. It has a partnership with the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University (USA), which was founded by computer science pioneers Allen Newell (Turing Award) and Herbert A. Simon (Turing Award and Nobel Prize in Economics). The HCII at Carnegie Mellon is recognized as a worldwide leader in HCI research. M-ITI grew through this collaboration, which was made possible by the Carnegie Mellon | Portugal International Partnership, an initiative conducted by the Portuguese national government that supports collaborative teaching and research between universities in Portugal and Carnegie Mellon University.
