For us, digital transformation means social responsibility

The ‘Institut für Informationsmanagement Bremen GmbH (ifib)’ is a research institution recognized by the state of Bremen and an affiliated institute of the University of Bremen. Our work focuses on current developments, challenges and the possibilities for designing the digital transformation in our research areas. Together with project participants we transfer our gained knowledge into products and solutions. This helps to make organizational and administrative processes more applicable and future-proof through organizational development, business process optimization and digital audits. In doing so, we take ethical, social and legal aspects into account: user orientation, participation and sharing, access, transparency, accessibility, data protection, privacy and diversity.

Since our foundation in 2002, we have carried out over 250 projects and published over 600 papers.

Our research is future- and application-orientated, in close co-operation with the University of Bremen.

Our work at ifib and in our projects is participatory, interdisciplinary and transparent.
