TransforM – the Munich Center for Transformative Technologies and Societal Change

TransforM – the Munich Center for Transformative Technologies and Societal Change is an Excellence Cluster funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). 

TransforM tackles the dual challenge of advancing fundamental social science for technologised societies and rethinking technology development through a social science lens head on. As an interdisciplinary social science cluster with a principal focus on technology, our goal is to augment current theories and methods to comprehensively understand and help shape transformative technology to better serve diverse societal needs. Better knowledge about why, when, and how technologies become socially transformative will enhance our ability to assess and inform transformation pathways ‘all the way through’ – from the early stages of their emergence to their wider socio-economic impact.

Stefan Minner is a Principal Investigator of this cluster.
