Research project

AUTO-WELF

The research project investigates the implementation of automated decision making in the welfare sector across eight European countries. Funded by CHANSE.

AUTO-WELF investigates the implementation of automated decision-making in the welfare sector across Europe through empirical case studies. The project foregrounds the perspective of people implicated in the processes of automation including software engineers, case workers and citizens.

With an interdisciplinary and cross-country comparative approach, the project will develop knowledge on the consequences of automating welfare in two domains: a) core welfare service and b) communal welfare infrastructures. These domains will be explored across eight European countries (Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Sweden).

The project is funded by CHANSE.
