Constant accessibility, data protection, networked cities: Lecture series on the digital society begins on 30.10.19

In the winter semester 2019/20, the Scientific Center for Information Technology Design (ITeG) of the University of Kassel will again organize the lecture series "Digital Society - A Design Task" in cooperation with the Gesellschaft für Informatik. The kick-off session will take place on Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. in the ITeG conference room, Pfannkuchstraße 1, 34121 Kassel. The series of events is open to all interested parties and free of charge.

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.
