Dr. Ina Krause's postdoctoral thesis examines how structures in the industrialized working world are being significantly altered by the increasing use of automated and digital technologies and the expansion of the Internet infrastructure.

Dr. Ina Krause takes a sociological perspective, but works closely with colleagues from the fields of business, vocational, and adult education to address issues relating to the qualification of vocational training and continuing education personnel. One focus of her studies is the observation of the use of digital learning platforms and AI tools in continuing vocational training and their significance, on the one hand, for the professionalization of company and vocational training staff and, on the other hand, for the opportunities that AI tools offer for breaking down learning barriers and disadvantages in the learning process.
