Research, Innovation, and Education Roadmap for Digital Humanism

Abstract

Digital technologies are changing human behaviour, significantly changing our society, and our environment. Digital humanism observes and describes these changes and aims at shaping and influencing the development of digital technologies and policies towards the values of human rights, democracy, participation, inclusion, and diversity. It is a broad concept combining technical and social innovation and ranging from research to politics. This roadmap is based on talks and discussions held at the 4th Workshop on Digital Humanism, TU Wien and online in March 2022. Following up on the Vienna Manifesto on Digital Humanism, the purpose of this document is to provide strategic guidelines to realise the vision of digital humanism and integrate its ideals into society via three important pillars: Research and Development (R&D), Innovation, and Education.
