Dr. Hans Riegel foundation funds study on the importance of IS in times of the pandemic
The Dr. Hans Riegel- Foundation supports research projects in economic and social sciences to complement important medical questions. This is intended to make a socially relevant contribution to the perspective reappraisal of current situations.
Thanks to the Covid-19 special grant, we will have the opportunity to investigate the effectiveness of interactive data visualizations on the acceptance of COVID-19 interventions. The team of PhD students from the Chair of Digitalization and the Junior Professorship of Digital Transformation aims to underline the social importance of information systems with this project. The objective is to use empirical methods to identify effective tools to increase the compliance of citizens with the given measures and to initiate a scientific discussion on the transparency of Covid-19 measures.
