Datafication

Focus on the social relevance of datafication.

Digitization is accompanied by a comprehensive datafication of public and social life. The open and hidden collection of data influences decision-making and opinion-forming processes; individually, organizationally and socially. The growing importance of data increases the influence of those who have the abilities needed to collect, evaluate and interpret data.

Analyzing datafication

ifib critically examines processes of datafication and analyzes the associated challenges for individuals and organizations. We examine how data infrastructures emerge as powerful

socio-technical relations, how they shape organizational structures, and how they change practices. We critically observe and accompany these ambivalent changes.

Datafizierung

Generating knowledge and initiating research transfer

Our main research interest is in datafication processes in the education sector and public administration. We pay special attention to data-driven decision making and the transformation of organizations. ifib generates relevant knowledge in conjunction with its practice partners and benefits from the mutual learning processes.
