The National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) provides voluntary, independent, public-interest orientated political and social advice. At acatech’s General Assembly, 25 new scientists were selected to expand the circle of experts, including L3S member Prof Dr Sören Auer, Director of the TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and Professor of Data Science and Digital Libraries at Leibniz Universität Hannover. He contributes his scientific expertise in the fields of knowledge graphs, data science and artificial intelligence.
What role does technology play today and in the future?
By providing social and political advice, acatech aims to promote political and social dialogue on new technologies. Leading experts from politics, business, science and society join forces to examine the role of technology today and in the future – and how society can shape technology for the benefit of people and the environment.
682 experts contribute their expertise
The group of experts now comprises a total of 682 members who contribute their expertise from scientific disciplines such as functional materials, raw materials processing and recycling, bioprocess engineering, biomaterials research, nano- and biophotonics.
