Seminar Life Engineering

The lessons in integral fuzzy engineering, or life engineering, feature a human-centered reflection on the ethics and sustainability of digitalization. In this seminar, we apply an ethics by design mindset as a humanistic approach to engineer more resilient systems.

Students must apply by email by end of February. The application must include a cover letter introducing yourself and explaining your motivation for joining, and a short video detailing why you should be selected for the seminar.
