HCI is still a rather new subject for Scandinavian undergraduate level studies. Ten years ago only short courses at various computer science and system development educations were available. During the last two-three years HCI education has grown rather rapidly through the establishment of minor programs at the smaller universities and with specific profiles at the bigger universities. In 1998 the first Ph. D. in HCI graduated and now an HMI graduate school has been started in Linköping and Stockholm. HCI has also been well established as a research activity in Sweden and is now becoming more and more regular departments at the major universities. Still, education in HCI is varied in content and direction, and this paper describes a first Swedish workshop aimed at reviewing the contents of HCI courses in Sweden.
