Briefly describe your organisation KnowComm is concerned with information design; that is, the presentation of information in a way that people understand complex data in diverse contexts and comprehend complex relationships. Our second research topic is network research, focusing on the interdependencies of organisations and their employees to unveil the structures behind their change over time.
As a research center that concentrates on interfaces and interaction between people, technology, and environment, KnowComm aims to facilitate a greater understanding of complex dynamic systems (e.g., organisational processes, socio-technical networks), to facilitate the handling of information, and to enable the creation of new knowledge. Central to our research projects are individuals and users of (information) technologies, their skills, and their needs.
KnowComm contributes to the Department’s main topics on communication processes and the design of information. The interdisciplinary, integrative team links research and teaching at the department.
