Good media response to Cloud & Crowd Transfer Conference in Frankfurt
The conference of the BMBF-funded joint project "Challenge Cloud and Crowd" on 25 April 2018 in Frankfurt, which was organized by the Department of Information Systems(Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister) and held in cooperation with IG Metall and Ver.di, generated a good media response. Under the conference motto "Successfully shaping the digital working world of the future", over 100 participants from society, trade unions, politics, business and science discussed the opportunities and risks of the digitalization of the world of work, in particular work via crowdworking platforms. High-profile speakers from trade unions, business and science were on hand to answer questions from participants.
The "Cloud and Crowd Challenge" project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), includes ISF Munich, the Department of Information Systems (Prof. Dr. Leimeister) at the University of Kassel, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, IG Metall, Ver.di and andrena objects AG as joint partners. The WI department is responsible for the sub-project on crowdworking platforms within the project. This project conference was organized by Volkmar Mrass within the Department of Information Systems.
