As part of the sustainability lecture series "UPB for Future", a lecture by Prof. Dr. Christian Fuchs will take place on Thursday, 22 May at 4.15 pm in lecture hall L1. The lecture will present theoretical models of society, the (non-)sustainable society and the (non-)sustainable information society. Central to this is the linking of nature, economy, politics and culture. Based on these foundations, some aspects of (non-)sustainable digitalisation will be discussed (digital divide, e-waste/electrical waste, fake news, public internet).
