Empowered Life & Work innovation area
Self-determination and empowerment are central motives for action. Since the 1960s, the development of digital technologies has been linked to the goal of enabling people to live and work in a self-determined way. The corresponding offerings made possible by digitalisation are part of our world today: social networks and discussion forums, music and video streaming, crowdworking, hybrid work, virtual-agile work teams, career platforms and so on. However, fulfilling the promise of empowerment that goes hand in hand with these offerings constantly presents us with technological, legal, ethical and organisational challenges.
