TRANSVERSE: CROSS-FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF COLLABORATION
The present project proposes to address transversal challenges of digital collaboration on science and society. More particularly, it addresses issues that arise from activities pursued in the entire PEPR eNSEMBLE but require a meta perspective, primarily with respect to assessing the impact of the collaborative technologies developed by eNSEMBLE at the individual, societal and cultural levels. More specifically, the project will study how these technologies affect sustainability, impacts beyond technology and ethical issues.
The key scientific challenges include 1) identifying or developing methodologies for assessing the impact of collaborative technology on individuals, groups of users, and society; 2) recommending strategies for reducing the carbon footprint of collaborative technologies, and 3) identifying the ethical, philosophical and legal issues raised by technology-mediated collaboration.
