A key focus of sociology at RWTH is the manifold interweaving of social action with technologies and techniques. These have a great significance in our everyday lives. They help us to come to grips with life, but they also change our social interactions.

This interaction between technology and society is the special focus of the course at RWTH Aachen University, which is a university of technology.
