“Waag Society is a knowledge institute operating on the cutting-edge of culture and technology in relation to society, education, government and industry. With its knowledge Waag Society wishes to make a contribution to the design of the information society. In this it doesn’t let itself be lead by technology but instead looks at the possibilities of people, their creativity and culture. The interplay of technology and culture is the driving force of all Waag Society’s activities.
Waag Society carries out research, develops new concepts and software applications and initiates the debate in the form of public events on the cutting edge of old and new media. Its research and development programme is focused on the possible ways in which people express themselves, how they can learn and how they can work together using (new) media.”
All projects, publications, events and products of Waag Society are executed within the research & development-goals of one or more of the four programmes:
- Creative Learning (CL)
- Interfacing Access (IA)
