Overview
KD²School is a publicly funded and neutrally coordinated graduate school. It opens a research field that is often otherwise shaped by profit-driven or political influences. Economic decisions are increasingly mediated by IT-based systems, which act as “cast in code” institutions, thus shaping decision-makers’ behaviors. Researchers involved in KD²School investigate how system design and economic decision-making interact.
Our Goal
The program's core goal is to transform static IT-based systems into dynamic, context-aware, and adaptive ones. It addresses the embedded nature of decision-making in fluctuating contexts (personal, task-related, environmental) with the aim of improving decision outcomes or reducing decision effort without sacrificing quality.
