Content

The seminar "Innovation & Diversity" deals with the interlinkages between the development of sustainable and responsible innovations and diversity in changing contexts. Diversity is therefore considered from different perspectives and a focus on selected categories of diversity (e.g. gender, race, age) is set. During the course, students work together in groups to discuss sustainable, innovative, and diversity-sensitive solutions to current research areas like sustainable and inclusive AI systems.

Intended Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, students are able

• to understand the connection between diversity, innovation and their own subject,

• to transfer the connection and its consideration to practical examples,

• to critically reflect on them and their own behaviour,

• to apply them analytically to a concrete case,

• to prepare a profound basis for a discussion with opposing viewpoints, and

• to prepare a scientific elaboration.
