CHANSE: Transformations – social and cultural dynamics in the digital age

About the call

Focus

Focus for the call is the ongoing digitalisation of society. It can lead to economic progress and new opportunities, but also raise anxiety and feelings of insecurity. The transition is accelerated in many areas during the pandemic. What social and cultural changes can digitisation give rise to? On the other hand, how are digital innovations affected by society and culture? What comparisons can be made with previous historical transitions?
