We are partnering with the World Information Architecture Association (WIAA)! WIAA is a global nonprofit dedicated to advancing the discipline of information architecture – the foundation of every great user experience.
As our Founder and CEO, Eduard Kuric, puts it:
Great user experiences start with great information architecture, and at UXtweak, we’re thrilled to partner with WIAA to support the global community of IA professionals.
I’ve personally valued WIAA’s work over the years, from World IA Day to the way they bring the global IA community together.
We’re honored to support this work and contribute our research and platform to help advance the field together.
Our shared goal is to empower IA professionals, educators, and students worldwide through community initiatives, educational programs, and collaborative research.
From WIAA co-president, Grace Lau:
UXtweak’s commitment to both academic research and practical tools aligns perfectly with our mission.
We’re excited to see how this partnership will help our community test ideas, validate approaches, and contribute to the growing body of knowledge that makes information architecture more effective and accessible for everyone.
Through this partnership, UXtweak will support WIAA’s global initiatives, including World IA Day, virtual seminars, and research projects that connect the IA community across continents.
This collaboration reinforces UXtweak’s commitment to helping professionals understand user behavior and create better digital products.
Bridging research and practice
A key pillar of this collaboration is the commitment of both organizations to advance the field of information architecture through academic and applied research.
UXtweak’s research team publishes peer-reviewed studies that explore critical questions facing IA practitioners today.
By partnering with WIAA, we are connecting this research directly with the global community that can benefit from and build upon these findings.
Our recent IA-focused research tackles validation methods, user behavior patterns, and emerging AI applications:
- Card Sorting with Fewer Cards and the Same Mental Models? A Re-examination of an Established Practice
- Card Sorting Simulator: Augmenting Design of Logical Information Architectures with Large Language Models
- Validation of Information Architecture: Cross-methodological Comparison of Tree Testing Variants and Prototype User Testing
💡 Pro Tip
You can explore all research papers in the Research by UXtweak section.
By combining WIAA’s educational reach and global network with UXtweak’s research expertise and comprehensive UX research platform, we aim to create new opportunities for professional growth, academic engagement, and innovation in IA practice.
What’s next
We are kicking off the collaboration with support for World IA Day 2026. We will also expand our research initiatives with input from WIAA’s international network and provide support for their own research projects.
This partnership is built with and for the IA community. 🐝
