Human Subject Research for Impact

Human subject research is rapidly expanding across KIT, from mobility and energy to information systems, workplace design, and everyday life. While it enables science with real-world impact, it also brings significant methodological and organizational challenges.

Join us for the 1st “Human Subject Research for Impact” symposium at KIT, a special event that brings together two KIT-funded projects on Human Subject Research: the launch of the Human Subject Research Hub (HSR Hub) strategy funds project and the closing celebration of the Future Field III project “Decision-Making in Hybrid Adaptive Systems for Better Work and Life – An Open Science Approach”. An additional special highlight is the keynote presentation by Prof. Dr. Achim Wambach (President ZEW) entitled "Attention, Overconfidence and Trust - Shaping Markets and Organisations through Co-design"

As part of the HSR Hub project we target to establish a central platform at KIT offering the expertise, infrastructure, and coordination needed to conduct cutting-edge, ethical, and transparent human subject research at scale. At the same time, we will showcase the results of two years of ambitious interdisciplinary research on co-adaptation of humans and information technology performed in the Future Field III project. With a strong commitment to open science, the project united ten professors from different disciplines to explore hybrid adaptive systems and to lay the groundwork for systematic training regarding open science for human subject research.

Celebrate achievements, discover new opportunities, and help shape the future of human subject research at KIT. Let’s create impact: together!
