Themes

We focus on the following areas

Themes

AI: Ethics & Regulation

We analyse the use of artificial intelligence at the interface of technology, law, regulation and ethics. In projects, we develop practical guidelines, strategies and recommendations for action and advise politicians and institutions to ensure that AI is used ethically and effectively in society.

We support administrations and public organisations in their digital transformation. In projects, we analyse existing processes, develop strategies and implement training and innovative (pilot) solutions. This is how we make administrations fit for the future, agile and citizen-centred.

Democratic participation & culture of remembrance

We research digital phenomena such as disinformation, hate speech and social discourse in order to better understand the dynamics of digital spaces. We develop digital formats and projects that strengthen democratic participation, public opinion-forming and a culture of remembrance.

Digital skills, literacy and open knowledge infrastructures

We analyse the need for digital skills. On this basis, we develop training programmes and courses for educational institutions, associations, administrations and companies. With projects on open access, open educational resources (OER) and open source, we strengthen digital sovereignty, media and data skills and promote social empowerment.

Digital infrastructure and public services

We analyse digital infrastructures and research risks and vulnerabilities in order to identify options for action for the state, society and the economy. In projects, we develop concepts, strategies and measures that promote digital resilience. In this way, we strengthen trust, stability and the ability to act in the state, society and the economy.
