Generation Z and Beyond: Co-evolution of Human Capabilities and Intelligent Technologies in the 21st Century (GenZ)
GenZ (Profi4) research programme (concluded at the end of 2023) aims to respond to the challenges rapidly developing new technologies will have on human lives in the 21st century. GenZ aims to strengthen human capabilities, anticipate future challenges and increase human resilience through world-class interdisciplinary research within the identified themes. We do not want to take humans for granted but turn this perspective inside out and ask the question differently: What if the digital future was not driven by digital technologies but by humans? What do we need to do to strengthen human skills and capabilities and to enable a human-driven digital future?
