The Foundation Internet and Society was established in 2015 to ensure the long-term structure of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG). Founded in 2011, HIIG is dedicated to unravelling the intricacies of the internet\u2019s evolution and the profound impacts of digitalisation across all facets of society.<\/strong><\/p>\n HIIG was initiated by Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, the Berlin University of the Arts, and the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, with the Leibniz-Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut as an integral partner. Over the past decade, HIIG has conducted numerous impactful scientific projects and public engagement initiatives in collaboration with its partners.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#206c86″ header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_font=”|700||on|||||” header_3_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” custom_css_free_form=”li a{|| ||}” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”27px||43px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_cta title=”Sustainability, entrepreneurship and global digital transformation” button_text=”Discover digital transformation” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font_size=”26px” body_font_size=”16px” body_link_font_size=”17px” button_text_color=”#000000″ background_layout=”light” custom_margin=”||-1px|||” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.hiig.de\/en\/research\/sustainability-entrepreneurship-and-global-digital-transformation\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We teamed up with local researchers and practitioners from eight countries in the Global South. Our project team solved sustainability problems ranging from rainforest protection in Indonesia, to socially just platform work in Kenya, to green technologies to combat climate change in Vietnam. As a scientific partner of the BMZ’s Digital Transformation Centres (DTCs), HIIG organised multi-stakeholder dialogues and research sprints, produced scientific papers and made policy recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>results<\/span><\/a> of the project were made available in the form of studies, policy briefs, blog posts and podcasts.

Together with the non-profit organisation Neuland und Gestalten, our research team has developed an approach that gives people a real picture of the active role of AI systems in our everyday lives. In a playful, entertaining and easy-to-understand way.<\/span><\/p>\n The results were used to create the <\/span>AI Compass<\/span><\/a>. This card game helps young and old to find out how AI positively influences our society and when we might not even need it. The game is available worldwide and over 4000 copies have already been ordered by teachers and educational institutions in Germany.
