As a forum for debate between scholars and experts from civil society, politics, economy and journalism the conference will tackle questions such as: What role should the social sciences and the humanities play in the digitization of society? Which kind of answers are they expected to provide? How can they better fulfil their role as mediators and translators between the conflicting and sometimes even incommensurable perspectives on digital change?
PROGRAM
The conference consists of ten sessions in which renowned experts analyse how digitization is reflected and made sense of in politics, the economy, media and science itself. A display of technological demonstrations offers an opportunity for exchange with scientists from STEM fields and developers, while young scientists will present their research in lightning talks, poster sessions and discussion groups. The program for the Herrenhausen Conference on "Society through the Lens of the Digital" can be found on our website: https://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/nc/en/events/calendar-of-events/details-of-eve....
TRAVEL GRANTS
We offer travel grants for PhD students and early Post Docs working on theoretical, methodological and empirical tools to analyze and conceive of the digitization of society and interested in the role social sciences and the humanities play in processes of digitization, and for developers, start-ups as well as PhD students and early Post Docs from the STEM-field.
