The YOUTH Spring School took place from 10 to 14 June as part of the YOUTH project funded by the CTS. In the context of the project, the aim was to further develop the transdisciplinary and intersectional methodological framework for researching social inequality among young people and to engage in a translocal and transdisciplinary exchange with international academic partners and NGOs. In this regard, the YOUTH Spring School was conceived as an educational format based on the principles of academic co-production, in which the consortium partners of the project and NGOs from different regions of the world as well as international students jointly produce new forms of urban knowledge that are relevant for young people, universities and society in general. The Spring School focussed on the question of how the use of technology affects young people’s (in)equal access to and use of public space.

On 27 June 2024, the Center for Technology and Society (CTS) held its annual Midsommar event. Not only did we celebrate the start of summer, but also our 5th anniversary.

This year, the CTS is focusing, amongst other topics, on robotics. The continued advancement of robotics technology holds the potential to revolutionize industries, enhance productivity, and transform the way humans interact with machines, leading to unprecedented levels of automation and innovation. Likewise, the consequences of this development could impact society and include a redefinition of work structures, adjustments to educational systems, and a broad debate on the ethical and social impacts of automation and artificial intelligence. For this reason, we are featuring a series of insights and research activities from all our CTS houses.

The thyroid gland and its hormones in the thyrotropic control loop are a complex system that regulates thyroid function. In this young field of research, medical aids based on mathematical models can shorten treatment times. The long-term goal is therefore to develop a medical assistance tool. The CTS project formed the proof of concept for the feasibility of this assistance tool. Follow-up projects are being planned.

The aim of the cross-media project was to develop an audio game. To summarise, it is a project that tells the story of an underground catastrophe in a flooded metro system in a large city. In this game, the players are challenged purely aurally. In addition to the audio game developed, both a 3D radio play, which was published on Bavarian radio (see also ARD Audiothek), and an audio walk were created.

In this project, future first-year students are networked with students in order to make it easier for them to choose a degree programme and enter the world of higher education. Students talk about their experiences of choosing a degree programme and their first study experiences. The storytelling-by-students platform created in the project is a website on which students can share their content, including podcasts, text contributions and videos on the topics of choosing a degree programme, university life and life outside the university.

It was shown to what extent low-threshold technical artefacts (e.g. environmental sensors) are available and how they are used. The focus is on citizen science and participatory sensing as approaches for involving citizens in environmental data collection.

The thematic and content framework of the project was to explore ways in which young people and young adults with disabilities can be supported in sharing their digital skills. The project team found: there is a need for support for young people with disabilities; there are few projects that teach self-help skills; it is complex to develop holistic support; platforms and a playful approach can be helpful.

As the visibility of non-binary people increases, gender bias in language becomes apparent. As part of the project, a participatory workshop was organised in which translation guidelines for non-binary language use were developed. It became clear that there is no universal gender-appropriate strategy for language and machine translation. Although technical standardisation is necessary, it is at odds with the required diversity. The results of the project were used for further intensive research.

With the increasing digitalisation of society and almost all areas of life, the scope of action, role and responsibility of computer scientists as experts and designers of these developments is also changing. This project focussed on role models and engineering mentalities in computer science. The results show that the mindsets of engineers are often neglected, while there is great interest in questions of responsibility.

The aim of this participatory research project was to address the question of when, where and why ‘one-size-fits-all’ premises, i.e. the assumption that the same digital solutions could solve everyone’s problems, reach their limits when it comes to inclusive design. Based on theoretical considerations on inclusion and digitalisation, taking into account various dimensions (including legal, economic and political), a practice-relevant model for inclusive digitalisation was developed for various fields of application (e.g. inclusive schools or the economy/labour market).

The Lectures for Future (L4F) are an interdisciplinary lecture series offered at various universities. Researchers provide insights into their current scientific and artistic work on the topics of the climate crisis and sustainable development. The design of the teaching and communication format was scientifically monitored in the “Lectures for Future 2nd level” project. The study confirmed the added value of the Lectures for Future for society as a whole as well as the positive response from course participants and guest lecturers.

This transdisciplinary project investigated how socio-technical realities are negotiated and (re-)produced in digitally expanded public spaces. The CTS funding provided the framework for an innovative project idea for a systematic examination of social norms and power in hybrid realities. Based on questions of social participation and visibility, digital interventions were designed in transient physical spaces. These enabled the participants to explore digital realities and their reciprocal relationships with physical spaces.
