Center for Technology and Society – TU Berlin

The Center for Technology and Society is an institution that was established to enable research beyond topical limitations. This institution explores current social relevant problems and subjects in all areas of possible conflict and discusses these with all significant scientists and others e.g. economy, civil society and governmental institutions.

Due to the social-scientific perspective, legal, economic and user- specific concerns the innovation and transform processes are put into a context of embodiment concerning technological and other configurations, thus put on a common basis. Due to the long-time experience in implementing such projects this institute has established a reputation as being a brain-trust for developing inter-disciplinary methods for research, thus resulting in diverse published media.

Our diverse research activities are reflected in our structure that subclassifies our scope of topics. Six thematic subjects that we explore and are supplemented with references to crosssectional areas. This underlining our social scientific approach. Our findings derived from the social scientific technical, energy, mobility and sustainability research are then published and presented at diverse events within the scientific communities.

The Technology and Socially Society Center supports the TU Berlin’s general principal concerning current endeavours developing and solving societies future challenges.
