​​What motivates doctoral candidates in Applied Computer Science beyond their intellectual curiosity and pursuit of scientific excellence? It is the ambition to make a tangible contribution to society through their research and to find answers and solutions to pressing societal challenges.

​The research projects presented here illustrate the diverse ways in which this ambition is put into practice. Focusing on three areas of particular societal relevance – social media, healthcare, and demographic change – they demonstrate how Applied Computer Science addresses current challenges, opens up new perspectives, and helps shape a more informed, inclusive, and sustainable future.

​By connecting technological innovation with the needs of society, these projects highlight the potential of research to go beyond academic boundaries and create meaningful impact in people's lives.
