Three Research Strategy Levels
The KIT Humans and Technology Focus pools existing competences mainly from the disciplines of social sciences, humanities, cultural studies, law, and economics to find answers and solutions to technology-related issues.
The KIT Humans and Technology Focus combines continuously developing disciplinary competences into relevant interdisciplinary cooperations.
The KIT Humans and Technology Focus cooperates with the scientific-technical Focuses and Centers in solving relevant issues and responds to suggestions made by them.
