Work & Learning
How does science change my job and my education?
While other event tracks ask how science shapes the world, this one asks how it shapes the people and technology doing the shaping. In Touch begins here: with the daily reality of those who learn, teach, and build inside systems that science is actively transforming.
AI writes job applications, automates assessments, and is reshaping entire industries. At the same time, we’re still inside those industries, figuring out what this means for daily work. But alongside the disruption, something else is emerging: new tools for learning, more flexible career paths, and a growing conversation about what good work actually looks like.
Meanwhile, the research system producing all this change is reckoning with its own structures. From inclusive classrooms to startup culture, from open-science movements to funding politics, this is where science touches careers, institutions, and livelihoods.

After the PhD, most people face the same question: stay or go. DIE ZEIT and academics look at what a path inside academia can look like, and what opens up outside it. For anyone currently caught between a postdoc position and a job posting

LOOK A LITTLE FURTHER
Follow science out of the lab and into the systems already shaping daily life. Explore the hidden research behind the technologies and infrastructure we rely on through Everyday Infrastructure, or venture into questions whose answers — and applications — are still unknown with Frontiers of Knowledge.
