IQEL: Innsbruck Quantum Ethics Lab

Innsbruck ist ein führendes Zentrum der Quantenforschung. Mit der Quantentechnologie zusammenhängende Innovationspotenziale können gesellschaftliche Wandlungsprozesse anstoßen. Technische Entwicklungen müssen daher stets auf ihre Wirkungen auf Menschen wie Gesellschaft befragt und ethisch flankiert werden. Gleichzeitig muss die Freiheit, Neues zu schaffen, durch und gegen Regulierung gewahrt bleiben. In diesem Spannungsraum will das Innsbruck Quantum Ethics Lab (IQEL) gesellschaftliche Mehrwerte schaffen und sicherstellen, dass Governanceansätze die Vorteile der Quantentechnologie weder zu Innovationseinbußen noch zu sozialen Kosten führen.

REGROUP

REGROUP (Rebuilding governance and resilience out of the pandemic) aims to provide the European Union with a body of actionable advice on how to rebuild post-pandemic governance and public policies in an effective and democratic way; anchored to  a map of the socio-political dynamics and consequences of Covid-19; and an empirically-informed normative evaluation of the pandemic.  The project aims to impact major EU debates and events, such as the Health Union, the Green Deal, the Digital Decade, the Economic Governance Review, the Conference on the Future of Europe, and the 2024 European Parliament elections.

Global Digital Human Rights Network

The GDHRNet COST Action will systematically explore the theoretical and practical challenges posed by the digital world to the protection of human rights. The network will address whether international human rights law is sufficiently detailed to enable governments and private online companies to understand their respective obligations vis-à-vis human rights protection online. It will evaluate how national governments have responded to the task of providing a regulatory framework for online companies and how these companies have transposed the obligation to protect human rights and combat hate speech online into their community standards.

EuRepoC

The project is creating a web-based dashboard on cyber operations and conducting a legal and technical assessment. In particular, we will address the specification of cyber attack assessment processes through attribution and factual characteristic indicators so that Europeanization effects in the assessment of cyber operations are made measurable and deficiencies systematically identifiable.

ArtiPro – Artificial intelligence for personalized medicine in depression

The aim of the ArtiPro consortium is to establish a data and analysis platform that combines data from already existing clinical research projects on individual therapy response in depression in order to determine robust multimodal biomarkers and to establish prediction profiles for response to drug therapies in depression by using artificial intelligence. For this purpose, data on therapy course and therapy responses from existing clinical research projects are combined and integrated into a complex data platform for evaluations. Clara Rauchegger is in charge of the legal part of this project and is particularly focusing on data protection aspects of ArtiPro.
