About the CIS

The Centre for Informatics and Society (CIS) is a research initiative situated at the Multidisciplinary Design and User Research Group of the Faculty for Informatics at the Vienna University of Technology.

Founded in 2016, it seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and technological advancements in Informatics, and the societal impact and challenges arising from these developments.
