30 years of Fraunhofer ISST: From the first Internet browser to new spaces for data and people

Right on time with the beginning of the Internet era in the early nineties of the last century, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft founded its "Institute for Software and Systems Engineering", Fraunhofer ISST for short, in 1992. Since then - until today - the institute has been dealing with Internet technologies and their best possible use. At all times, the institute has helped shape the current development of the Internet:
- From Web 1.0, in which many consumers absorbed the content of a few content providers,
- to Web 2.0, with an enormous increase in user-generated content, and
- to Web 3.0, which focuses on issues such as the democratization of the Web and data control for users.
Now, on the Institute's 30th birthday, technological change is being joined by completely new work concepts for scientists. "New Work" for Fraunhofer ISST in 2022 means moving into a state-of-the-art new building at the Dortmund harbor with flexible workrooms that can be adapted to the current needs of employees at any time if they want to work on-site at the institute rather than remotely. This makes the working environment as flexible as the technologies that the institute will continue to advance in the future.
