Lecture and discussion with Dr Philipp zur Heiden

Information systems are now an integral part of everyday private, social and business life. The ability to design such information systems is particularly important when considering sustainability: for example, they can have a positive impact on sustainability by combating food waste or reducing energy consumption - but they can also be anything but sustainable due to enormous power consumption in data centres or algorithmic discrimination. In this lecture, the participants will look at how information systems should be designed so that, on the one hand, sustainable information systems are created and, on the other hand, this design is also sustainable.
