  • Designing together? Symposium on Participatory Technology Development

    The symposium will take place from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Magdeburg campus of the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences. Technology development, design and research currently focus on involving users in the development and innovation of products, services and knowledge. In practice, however, it has become apparent that very different approaches and goals are pursued with participation. The interdisciplinary symposium is aimed at all those who use participatory methods in research, development and companies or who want to use them in the future. Together we will work out what a “good practice” of participatory technology and product development looks like.

  • A reason to celebrate!? Exactly 100 years ago today, the premiere of the play “R.U.R.” (Rossum’s Universal Robots) took place in Prague. The public performance of this utopian collective drama in 3 acts, based on the 1920 book by Czech writer Karel Čapek, is considered to be the origin of the spread of the term “robot” into everyday language. In the Czech language, the term “robota” means “heavy, laborious work or even subject labor.” The stage play “R.U.R.” still offers good occasions for critical reflections on the social use of robotics today.
