The Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society - The German Internet Institute is an interdisciplinary research institute.[1] It is a joint project of research institutions from Berlin and Brandenburg, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.[2] Founded in 2017, the institute is located in Berlin.[3] It is named after the German-American computer science pioneer Joseph Weizenbaum.
Research Programme
The aim of the Weizenbaum Institute is to fill the need for research into the social impact of digitisation, in addition to the technical and legal issues it raises.[4] Based on the research findings, options for action are developed for government, business and civil society in order to shape the digital transformation in a responsible and interdisciplinary manner.[5]
Its research programme is based on the following four core areas[6]:
1. Digital technologies in society: between opportunities for participation and new inequalities
2. Digital markets and publics on platforms: between common good and economic imperatives
3. Organization of knowledge: between openness and exclusivity
4. Digital infrastructures in democracy: between security and freedom
People
The founding directors are Prof. Dr. Martin Emmer, Prof. Dr. Axel Metzger, LL.M. (Harvard) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ina Schieferdecker.[7]
Funding
When the institute was established in 2017, it received a total of 50 million euro in funding from the federal government for its first funding phase of five years.[8] In 2022, the Weizenbaum Institute is the recipient of 36 million euros in federal funding for the period until 2025.[9]
