Professor Stefan Böschen, Director of the KHK c:o/re, and the Exploratory Research Space (ERS) of RWTH Aachen University invite you to another lecture of the "ERS invites..." series, this time featuring Dr. Pēteris Zilgalvis, Judge at the General Court of the European Union, to discuss how AI is reshaping the legal landscape from various perspectives. …
Due to the rapid development of materials sciences during the past decades, such disciplines known as bioinspired materials and biorobotics have posited themselves as domains whose starting point is inspiration from nature, or more precisely, from various ‘natural’ or biological objects and processes found in the natural world. For example, the technology of CRISPR gene …
The international conference “Cultures of Research” takes stock of the first four years of the fellow program at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Rearch (c:o/re). During these years, more than fifty international fellows came to the KHK c:o/re to explore the transformation of research in its many facets. Topics such as the digitalization of …
Modelling and computing are increasingly at the heart of innovation, governance, and public policy. Yet, many modelers remain detached from the social, ethical, and political implications of their work, often viewing these aspects as irrelevant to the success of the model. The flexibility, variety, and resistance to falsification, coupled with their status as authoritative evidence-making …

If “Expanded STS” can also be understood as a platform – in a sense that it gathers different disciplines that eventually go back to their original research field – the workshop "After Networks: reframing scale, reimagining connections" proposes a direct connection with the KHK c:o/re’s 2024 research theme. The interdisciplinary program, combining art and internet …
Science-Art Installation Experiment by Yasmin Vega (Tokyo University of the Arts) and Masahiko Hara (Tokyo Institute of Technology/Institute of Science Tokyo) Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which the stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in another sensory or cognitive pathway. An example of synesthesia is experiencing "colors" in response …

Abstract: The prevailing view of biological evolution is not unlike bricolage/pastiche/tinkering—in sharp contrast with rational engineering. Yet, different paths often lead to solutions that coincide or converge whether they emerge from naturally-occurring evolution or rationally designed. Such a conjunction—often presented as a mere anecdote— in fact reveals the ability of biological systems to physically explore …
Abstract: Art and science are all around us: in the academy, in galleries, and in the news. How do we make sense of the power that these two categories hold in our society? And is this process new? In this lecture, Rogers explores how the tools of Science and Technology Studies (STS) can provide critical …
