Projects (Information Technology)

As part of the “Sparkling Science” program, many projects are concerned with new information technology and media use and deal with their repercussions on values and communicative behaviour. Therefore, they are highly interdisciplinary in character and in some cases delve deep into the interdisciplinary areas of the social, human and cultural sciences.

According to the scale, methodological demands and content of the projects, the management of the following research projects is the responsibility of the scientific or academic partners.
