Advances in robotic and drone technology, cyber-warfare, and the sprawling fragmentation of conflict have substantially altered both how we think about war and how war is pursued. We want to address the philosophical implications of this phenomenon of the \u2018New Wars\u2019: How have transformations in warfare, technology, and the culture of war changed philosophical thinking? How might philosophical thinking come to terms with such transformations?<\/p>\n<p>The aim of this 12-month collaboration between the philosophy departments at the Penn State University and the University of Freiburg is to explore these questions through an approach combining various philosophical methods of analysis and argumentation in conjunction with an interdisciplinary outreach to other related fields of study (e.g. history, cultural studies, security studies). The aim of this project to develop a novel field of philosophical research by drawing on and challenging established frameworks for the conceptualization of warfare, violence, and the human condition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Roles: 3 week research collaboration stay at Penn State,<br \/>\ninvolved in acquisition process<br \/>\n(Freiburg Lead: Prof. Dr. Hans-Helmuth Gander)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frias.uni-freiburg.de\/de\/foerderprogramme\/freiburg-penn-state\/philosophy-in-the-age-of-the-new-wars\">Project website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>TRESSPASS<\/h3>\n<p><em>robusT Risk basEd Screening and alert System for PASSengers and luggage (2018-2021)<br \/>\nNo further involvement from Feb 2020 onwards due to change of workplace<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The goal of TRESSPASS\u00a0is to develop, demonstrate and validate a single cohesive risk-based border management concept for air, maritime and land border crossing points.

Threats posed by state-actors are out of scope, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Building on previous ethical research as part of the project XP-DITE, the role of the University of Freiburg\u2019s Centre for Security and Society is to provide the basis and input needed to address ethical, legal and societal aspects from the start and throughout the design and development process, with a special focus on data protection needs.
