Human-Centred Technologies Research Centre

The human-centred research and communication of innovative technologies in various areas of life (e.g. work, education, leisure) aims to have a positive impact on health, knowledge transfer and the environment. Social innovations are a prerequisite or consequence of technological development. Ultimately, the focus is on the social benefits of technologies.

Technical innovations aim at novel applications, extended interfaces, optimized processes or previously unused purposes for information and data. They are always based on a demand-oriented interaction between people and Engineering and Technology. We conduct research activities in these areas together with various population groups and organizations, as well as for social policy.
