Immersive und virtuelle Räume spielen in unserem sozialen Miteinander gerade in Pandemiezeiten eine immer größere Rolle! Aber wer gestaltet eigentlich die neuen digitalen Welten, in denen wir uns bewegen? Das zkm zusammen mit dem IISM laden im Rahmen des Projektes digilog@bw zu einem interaktiven Workshop ein.

In the project Kern, funded by the German Ministry of Work and Social Affairs, we designed AI-based competence assistance systems for the future of work in cooperation with Campusjaeger GmbH, B. Braun Melsungen GmbH, SAP SE, and TÜV Rheinland.

The results of the project were presented an online event on May 19th 2021. Further information about the project and its results are available here.

Alexander Maedche is coordinating in cooperation with Mark Ackerman, Claudia Mueller, Gerhard Schwabe, and Volker Wulf the Special Issue Home Office: Working from a Private Place in the Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) journal.

The aim of the cross-location research alliance ForDigital between Karlsruhe and Mannheim was to better understand the mechanisms and effects of the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the economy, society and individuals and, on this basis, to design innovative ICT solutions.
