How can we understand the social and human dimensions of digitalisation? How can digitalisation be more aligned with human values? Following these questions, the Vienna Science and Technology Fund launched its first “Digital Humanism” call for scientific projects in 2020, followed by a second call for projects in 2023. The core element of the calls was to bring together scientists from the computer sciences and social sciences and humanities.

In this session, the project teams will take us on a journey to understand the specifics of doing “Digital Humanism research”. What are the challenges faced by interdisciplinary collaboration between computer scientists and researchers from the Social Sciences and Humanities and do these collaborations lead to unexpected outcomes?
Join us for this session of lightning talks and take the opportunity to connect with the researchers afterwards. We’ll learn about the project outcomes, the research planned, and how their work could impact our digital future.


This panel is co-organised with the Vienna Science and Technology Fund.
