In particular, new approaches will be conceived and evaluated that support the development of interpersonal and social skills, as well as critical reflection skills, when using agentic AI.
The research project will consider both students and employees in companies. The team projects in the B.Sc. programs in Industrial Engineering & Management, Digital Economics and Information Systems serve as concrete research cases within the curriculum. From a practical point of view, the position holder is responsible for future development of the faculty's partner network (https://www.wiwi.kit.edu/kooperation.php). Opportunities for collaboration with companies exist through this network.
