what we are working on

Find out more about our recent publications, presentations, and media contributions below. We list work from all group members since 2024 or before, if relevant to the concept of a human-centered internet and our focus on the digital public space.


We’ve been portrayed as group in the Max Planck Society’s research magazine, Max Planck Forschung. You can find out more about our work in Michaela Hutterer’s article “Brave New Online World” (currently only in German).
