In this transdisciplinary team, the competences from different research groups flow into the course. The new methodological approaches to research tasks in the humanities and social sciences are actively linked with the questions on socio-technical prerequisites and consequences of digitization on phenomena of society such as social relationships, forms of organization and decision-making or spatial relationships.
