The “Vienna Manifesto on Digital Humanism” defines the key goals, which are also upheld by our association.
This lecture series aims to highlight the new movement of “Digital Humanism” and to link it closely with the existing traditions of research into the impact of digital technologies on society in various disciplines. The lecture series is therefore particularly concerned with the highly multidisciplinary character of digital humanism, which we facilitate through lectures on various theoretical approaches and research methods. This will enable students from all disciplines to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of digital technologies on society.
