International Center for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities (IZEW)

Shaping and reflecting Human-Technology Relations transdisciplinarily

Interactive Exhibition of Projects Research including German Audioguides
 

January, 31st and February, 1st 2024
Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum Paderborn (Optional: 30th January 2024 International online pre-conference on Global Justice, Technology, and Integrated Research)

What to expect? – Integrated research aims to responsibly shape research and innovation processes. Conducting integrated research means that ethical, legal, social, and other aspects are an integral part of technology development processes from the beginning. To achieve this, it is essential to involve representatives from different research and practice fields, as well as citizens, in research and innovation processes and to transdisciplinarily reflect on and shape human-technology relationships. The Integrated Research Conference provides a forum for anyone working in this field or interested in doing so, to discuss the current state, perspectives, and methods of integrated research, as well as opportunities for networking and exchanging experiences.


Topics and Formats – Digitalization and the associated technologies are seen as both a significant challenge and an opportunity. In any case, they bring about changes in existing lifestyles and require individual and societal reorientations that should enable autonomous self- and world-relationships. What needs to be done by whom for this purpose, and what arenas and processes of communication do we need? Under the heading Digitalized Life Worlds, facets of this new mode of teaching, research, and development are outlined, analyses of the claims and realities of integrated research are provided, and an interactive engagement with and among participants is stimulated.
Subsequently, connections are established at the national and international levels, and bridges are built to the second thematic focus: Collaborative Interventions are presented as a possible mode of incorporating ethical, legal, social, and other relevant aspects into research and innovation processes. They expand the methodological repertoire of integrated research by introducing the approach of collaboratively intervening in research and innovation processes and experimentally shaping them. Collaborative Interventions are discussed in theory and practice at the conference. Concepts and results from three collaborative interventions in the areas of co-design, law, and integration will be presented. Participants are invited to take part in these interventions themselves in parallel workshops.


The Pre-Conference aims to internationalize the discussion on integrated research and its implementation. The central theme of global justice, crucial for responsible innovation, is placed on the integrated research agenda, as outlined in the corresponding call for abstracts.
