"Transforming American Science documents the ways in which federal funds catalyzed or accelerated changes in both university culture and in the broader system of American higher education during the post-World War II decades. The events of the book lie within the context of the Cold War, when pressure to maintain parity with the Soviet Union impelled more generous government spending and a willingness of some universities to reorient their missions in the service of country and of science. The book draws upon a substantial amount of archival research conducted in various university archives (MIT, Berkeley, Stanford) as well as at the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and various presidential libraries. Author Jonathan Engel considers the re-purposing of the wartime Manhattan Engineering District and the Office of Naval Research to robust peacetime roles in supporting the nation's expanding research efforts, along with the birth of the National Science Foundation, space exploration, and atoms for peace amongst other topics. This volume is the perfect resource for all those interested in Cold War history and in the history of American science and technology policy"--

This open access book presents detailed findings about the ethical, legal, and social acceptance of robots in the German and European context. The key resource is the Bremen AI Delphi survey of scientists and politicians and a related population survey. The focus is on trust in robotic assistance, human willingness to use this assistance, and the expected personal well-being in human-robot interaction. Using recent data from Eurostat, the European Social Survey, and the Eurobarometer survey, the analysis is extended to Germany and the EU. The acceptance of robots in care and everyday life is viewed against their acceptance in other contexts of life and the scientific research. The book reports on how the probability of five complex future scenarios is evaluated by experts and politicians. These scenarios cover a broad range of topics, including the worst-case scenario of cutthroat competition for jobs, the wealth promise of AI, communication in human-robot interaction, robotic assistance, and ethical and legal conflicts. International economic competition alone will ensure that countries invest sustainably in the future technologies of AI and robots. But will these technologies also be accepted by the population? The book raises the core issue of how governments can gain the needed social, ethical, and user acceptance of AI and robots in everyday life. This highly topical book is of interest to researchers, professionals and policy makers working on various aspects of human-robot interaction. This is an open access book.

This is the second edition of the Yearbook on the African Union (YBAU). The YBAU is first and foremost an academic project that provides an in-depth evaluation and analysis of the institution, its processes, and its engagements. Despite the increased agency in recent years of the African Union in general, and the AU Commission in particular, little is known – outside expert policy or niche academic circles – about the Union's activities. This is the gap the Yearbook on the African Union wants to systematically address. It seeks to be a reference point for in-depth research, evidence-based policy-making and decision-making. Contributors are Kwesi Aning, Emmanuel Balogun, Habibu Yaya Bappah, Enrico Behne, Bruce Byiers, Annie Barbara Hazviyemurwi Chikwanha, Dawit Yohannes Wondemagegnehu, Katharina P.W.

Ole Engel untersucht in diesem Open-Access-Buch erstmalig auf der Grundlage einer großen Studie die Bildungs-/Berufsverläufe, die Arbeitssituation, internationale Aktivitäten sowie die gesellschaftliche Teilhabe von Professoren mit Migrationshintergrund. Die empirische Grundlage bildet die MOBIL-Studie der HU Berlin, an der über 200 Professoren mit Migrationshintergrund teilgenommen haben. Die Gruppe kommt primär aus dem europäischen und angelsächsischen Ausland. Bildungs- und Berufsverläufe sind häufig durch Mehrfachmigration geprägt. Professoren mit Migrationshintergrund sind wichtige Akteure sowohl für die Internationalisierung von Forschung und Lehre als auch durch ihre interkulturellen Aktivitäten. Die eigene Herkunft wird von über der Hälfte als beruflicher Vorteil beschrieben, wohingegen insbesondere Professoren aus Entwicklungsländern von Nachteilen berichten. Der Großteil der Professoren verweist auf ein internationales Selbstverständnis, wobei nur selten Bezüge zur nationalen Herkunft hergestellt werden, vielmehr wird die eigene Biografie und Profession betont.
