Sustainable Intelligence – Intelligent Sustainability

Duration: July 2021 until January 2022

The project group “Sustainable Intelligence – Intelligent Sustainability” intensively examined the tensions between sustainability and (intelligent) digitisation. In particular, the group explored a broad range of conflicts and synergies between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in general and in relation to digitisation in particular. Methodologically oriented work focused on transdisciplinary issues, collaboration engineering and citizen science. The relationship between algorithmic intelligence and aspects of sustainability in terms of equality law constituted an additional research focus.

The project group’s work and networking activities resulted in two conferences: “Die Normativität nachhaltiger Digitalität” on 5/6 May 2022 in Kassel and ” Partizipation und Nachhaltigkeit in der Digitalität” on 8 December 2022 in Fulda. With four invited lectures and comments from the project group at each of the conferences, key challenges for future sustainability research in and for the time of a – ubiquitously and “intelligently” – networked world were identified.
