The full program of the event is available now!

We are pleased to announce that the TUDiSC project Designate is set to host another exciting event on the highly topical issue of the so-called dark patterns humans are exposed to on technological devices and interfaces. This particular "Thinkshop" looks to analyse the subject specifically from the perspective of the participation and protection of younger and older people, and therefore understand any resulting or associated generational divides. 

As a Thinkshop, the event is conceived not only as an opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange, but also for the development of transdisciplinary approaches to dark patterns and generational divides. Following inputs from several disciplines, participants will be asked to discuss the ideas presented amongst themselves on the basis of guiding questions. Hence, the Thinkshop requires active involvement of all participants.

If you would like to participate, please e-mail .
