The Kurt Alten Foundation supports two doctoral positions with a duration of three years each in order to promote ethical action in the technical sciences.
The aim of the overall-project is the collection and development of ethical premises for (internal) decision-making processes on the example of the digitalization of the economy as well as the development of a digital learning environment that combines ethical principles and knowledge structures with relevant technical and interdisciplinary topics as competence development.
- Subgoal 1: Development of ethical premises for negotiation and decision-making processes
- Subgoal 2: Establishing the developed premises in practical action, in particular in the development of digital innovations (development of an "ethically shaped culture of action and decision making")
- Subgoal 3: Development of a digital learning environment and its exemplary piloting and evaluation
Doctoral Position A focuses on the establishment of ethical premises in university teaching and scientific, professional further education.
Doctoral Position B focuses on the establishment of ethical premises in operational negotiation and decision-making processes in the context of digital innovation. It is staffed by Simon Alexander Wagner.
The two doctoral positions are arranged to complement each other.
