Institute Humans in Complex Systems

Automation, digitalisation and technical networking present great opportunities but also challenges for the complex interplay between humans, technology and organisations.

We focus on the issue of how to design complex systems. In doing so, we pursue the following objectives:

  • Promoting the health and productivity of people and organisations
  • Optimising the fit between requirements and personal characteristics
  • Increasing reliability, safety, and security in socio-technical systems
