Digital Public

We research how the public sector integrates and utilizes digital innovation, transformation and entrepreneurship. We take a socio-technical perspective that focuses on the interface of people, technology and the environment. Our research focuses in particular on the following areas:

Development and application of artificial intelligence (AI)
Mixed reality technologies (augmented & virtual reality)
Urban games and gamification approaches
Technology design and acceptance

Our working group is extensively involved in teaching. We offer courses such as "Artificial Intelligence & Computational Management Information Systems" (MIS-2) and cover a wide range of topics in seminars, projects (e.g. AIxCity, CollabVR) and lectures (e.g. in the new Bachelor's degree specialization "GovTech"). Our students have the opportunity to deal with current topics such as smart cities and regions, the digital transformation of public administrations and services as well as digital innovations for society. Through our practice-oriented projects and theses, we enable students to apply theoretical knowledge in real application contexts.
