Looking back on "30 years of ITAS"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 30 June 2025, Maja Göpel addressed the question of how our society can look ahead positively despite crises and technological upheavals. On the occasion of the ITAS anniversary and part of KIT's 200th anniversary celebration, the political economist and sustainability expert spoke in the KIT Audimax on the topic "Transformation als Gemeinschaftswerk - Warum die Multikrise das Wir erfordert".

PERSONALIA:
Jascha Bareis has successfully completed his doctorate at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at KIT. His thesis “National Tech Rhetorics in a Global AI Race” analyzes policy documents of the leading AI nations with regard to their production of imaginaries about social, normative, and geopolitical aspirations.
Pia Laborgne has been elected as the new coordinator of the Urban Europe Research Alliance (UERA). UERA is a Europe-wide network of 58 research organizations from 20 countries that connects interdisciplinary research on urban sustainability in order to translate scientific findings into practice and actively shape urban change.
Somidh Saha has been appointed deputy coordinator of the new task force on “Forest Living Labs for Sustainable Climate Adaptation” of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). IUFRO is a key international organization that contributes to shaping forest and environmental policies and works closely with the European Union and the United Nations.
New staff members:
Sana Iqbal (Designing Real-World Laboratory Research)
Merlin Keitz (Designing Real-World Laboratory Research)
Dilshan Sandaruwan Premathilake (Research for Sustainable Energy Technologies)
Rhea Riegler (Philosophy of Engineering, Technology Assessment, and Science)

"From craftsman to scientist – it sounds like a contradiction, but for me it was a logical development: Both worlds work to actively shape the future. Today, I combine them in my research on assistive technologies such as social and care robots or exoskeletons. I am particularly fascinated by the interaction between people and products – especially what motivates us to accept or reject a technical product and how we can design it in a way that we enjoy using it.”
