Lecture series "Digital society - a design task"

The ITeG has set itself the task of scientifically analyzing digitization in the area of tension between opportunity and risk and developing viable design proposals. Against this backdrop, the new series of lectures also asks both how digital change is influencing and reorganizing our lives, the economy and society, and what challenges and design options it is opening up.

The opening lecture on Wednesday, October 31, 2018, 5 p.m. will be given by Professor Dr. Günter Maier from Bielefeld University: "Digitalized Work: Psychological Consequences and Design Recommendations."  Professor Maier heads the Work and Social Psychology Unit in the Department of Psychology at Bielefeld University.

    November 20, 2018 - Prof. Dr. Martin Eifert, HU Berlin: Regulation of social networks: NetzDG as a fall from grace or shining example?
