Digital networking platforms enable an increase in transparency and openness by intensifying the dialogue and networking between people in business, science and society. In business, effective networking with customers in the development and optimization of products and services is becoming increasingly important. In science, the "Open Science" paradigm with practices such as Citizen Science aims to increase the relevance and acceptance of research through interaction with citizens. In society, the pursuit of participatory decision-making processes in politics is becoming increasingly important. 

In cooperation with our partner CAS Software AG we are offering a doctoral student position in the field of digital networking platforms with a specific focus on leveraging user-centered and participatory development. The position is offered as part of the KIT excellence initiative funded Future Field III project “Decision-Making in Hybrid Adaptive Systems for Better Work and Life – An Open Science Approach” (https://hybrid-adaptive-systems.org/).
