1681 “Privacy. Forms, Functions, Transformations”
The Research Training Group focuses on the concept of "privacy" due to
its current societal and scientific relevance. An interdisciplinary
analysis and its application to present challenges have not yet been
undertaken. Until today, privacy has always been regarded as a residuum.
Throughout the Research Training Group*s research activities, the
private and its relation to the non-private will be considered as
culturally, historically and socially formed. The Research Training
Group will thus reconstruct the concept of privacy with the overall aim
of a comprehensive theory of privacy, describing its parameters and
interaction with other concepts.
The structured academic program equally provides its graduates with core
academic skills, thematic expertise and the ability to work in an
interdisciplinary context. By means of further qualification the program
supports participants* personal development and helps them succeed in a
competitive labor market. Supported by academic and non-academic
supervisors, participants are enabled to complete their individual
research projects quickly and successfully.
