digilog@bw – Digitalization in Dialogue
Society in Digital Change

- Duration
- 2019–2023
Digitalization is fundamentally changing societies. The aim of the »digilog@bw« project is to identify and analyse the influence of digitization on individuals and the resulting social changes in order to lay the foundations for developing digital change for the benefit of the human being.
In its projects, the interdisciplinary research network focuses on three central themes of digitization: autonomy, knowledge and participation. These core issues of digitization are the focal points of a socially and democratically compatible technology development.
»digilog@bw« will provide politics and society with a scientifically sound basis for making such decisions. This development task requires orientation towards critically reflected values, norms and framework conditions. The joint projects »Autonomy«, »Knowledge« and »Participation« will be carried out on an interdisciplinary basis and will be focused on the question of criteria for a promising and responsible development of the digital society. To this end, the research network brings together Baden-Württemberg expertise from university and non-university research in the humanities, social sciences, law, economics, media and communication sciences, ethics, computer science and interdisciplinary technology assessment at the highest scientific level.
The ZKM enables a lively exchange with the public through exhibitions, discussion events and lecture series. Thus »digilog@bw« will not only contribute to scientific research, but also to public discussion.

Evening Events
dialog@bw. Citizens' forum as part of the digilog@bw research project
The research topics of the digilog@bw project will be presented to the audience at a public kick-off event. Citizens are invited to talk to participating scientists about their research topics and give suggestions for the work of the network.

Shaping Digital Futures. digilog@bw. The Research Results
Digitization is transforming all areas of life. Analyzing the effects of this far-reaching transformation in order to create a basis for the informed planning of possible futures was the goal of the research project »digilog@bw - Digitalization in Dialog«, which was initiated in 2019. The concluding symposium provides insight into the research results and invites to a get-together.

Digiloglounge Digital | The Panel: »Research. Art. Public«
With the slogan "Ask the scientist!", questions about digitisation and personal experiences of citizens were collected and discussed in a conversation with the scientists Prof. Dr Sonja Utz and Laura Schelenz, both members of the digilog@bw research network, and the artist Bernd Lintermann, whose work TrustAI was on display in the Digiloglounge N°2 »Do they see us?«.
