From more innovation to better innovation.

We advance social science​ for highly technologized societies​ to better understand and shape​ the transformative power ​of technology​.
As a Cluster of Excellence funded by the German Research Foundation DFG, our goal is to better understand why, when, and how technologies become socially transformative, and to critically assess and inform transformation pathways ‘all the way through’ – from the early stages of their emergence to their wider socio-economic impact.
