Topic network Society and Technology

The Society and Technology topic network addresses the relationship between society and technology, monitors social and technological trends and investigates their causes and consequences:

  • What role do the technological sciences play in our society?
  • How do innovations come about and how can they be promoted?
  • How should we communicate science to the public and shape the public debate on technology?
  • How can we get people excited about science and technology?
  • How can we deliver high standards in STEM education (science, IT, engineering and mathematics)?
  • How can we ensure an adequate long-term supply of highly-qualified personnel in the STEM subjects?

In this multidisciplinary topic network, we address the above questions, propose new projects and support the dissemination of project results. The Society and Technology topic network is open to all acatech’s members.
