Die Vereinten Nationen (UN) haben 2015 die Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) verabschiedet, zu deren Erreichung bioökonomische Konzepte wesentlich beitragen können. Dies gelingt am besten, wenn soziale, ökologische und ökonomische Anforderungen in einem ausgewogenen Verhältnis zueinander stehen – ein schwieriges Unterfangen, wie z.B. die Interessenskonflikte um den Hambacher Forst gezeigt haben.

AI-based technologies have shown great potential in achieving process automation and optimization for energy suppliers, but pose enormous challenges for organizations and their employees.

MeKIDI aims at developing and evaluating humane solution approaches for the implementation of AI-Technologies in the energy sector, taking both sustainable corporate goals and the interest of employees into account.

The focal role of flow in promoting desirable outcomes in companies, such as increased employees’ well-being and performance, led scholars to study flow in the context of work. However, current measurement approaches which assess flow via self-report scales after task execution are limited due to obtrusiveness and a lack of real-time support. Hence, new measurement approaches must be created to overcome these limitations.
