Research on digitization processes

As a central and interdisciplinary research institution, we analyze the influence of digitization on educational and research processes as well as social change. Based on our research results, we test and evaluate, among other things, media deployment scenarios in teaching and science.

interdisciplin­ary and user-oriented

With over 50 employees from various disciplines, we work on a range of research and development projects covering diverse topics in the context of digitalization. In addition to theoretical analyses and model development, our research is primarily application-oriented. Together with our partners, we develop both educational concepts and pilot scenarios as well as prototypes and platforms for their technical implementation. All development processes are scientifically monitored and evaluated. You can find a review of our past years of research in our annual reports.

Our responsibilities are set forth in the “Regulations Governing the Management and Operation of the Center for Open Digital Innovation and Participation (CODIP) dated July 11, 2022.”
