The research group of Prof. Mädche was present at the “Mensch und Computer” (MuC) conference last week with three accepted conference papers. It was a great pleasure to present and discuss our research insights.

The end of the semester also marks the successful completion of this year’s Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) Capstone project, which was conducted virtually as part of the DIS master lecture. 18 students worked on a real-world challenge provided by our industry partner EnBW.

As part of this cooperation the promotion bike KALine is equipped with a mobile experimental kiosk from our "Wir- Forschen.Digital" initiative. Citizens of the city of Karlsruhe can find out more about the initiative, take part in small studies on the subject of well-being and register.

Join our research group as a student assistant (Bachelor or Master) to support our exciting research activities in the field of design interactive intelligent systems. Further information is available here.

We are happy to announce that we have received EXIST funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). Two of our recently graduated Ph.D. students, Dr. Jasper Feine and Dr. Tim Rietz, submitted their proposal for ‘Respeak’ together with Prof. Alexander Mädche.

More information will be available soon via www.respeak.io.

In this interview with INQA (“Initiative Neue Qualität der Arbeit”, initiative for new quality of work), project manager Prof. Dr. Alexander Mädche elaborates the project vision and answers questions about the experimental spaces.

Further information about the project and the initiative can be found on the MeKIDI Homepage or here.

The research group of Prof. Mädche was present at the 16th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) with two accepted papers

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.
