Podsumowanie kontekstu i ogólnych celów projektu

The action GLOTECH has contributed to advance knowledge discovery fostering
interdisciplinarity. Its main research objective (exploring the role of technology as a factor of
time standardizations in Western, industrialized societies, as well as a booster of cultural
homogenization, and as a consequence, an agent of globalization), has been accomplished:
GLOTECH has analyzed the social impact of technology in processes of globalization in
Western societies in two different historic times: the Second Industrial Revolution (1870-1914)
and the latest digital revolution (1999-2018).

In order to achieve this main research objective, GLOTECH has followed three scientific objectives:

• Objective 1: to analyze historical processes of information homogenization and differentiation
in the Western World.
• Objective 2: to push the state of the art in DH and CSS.
• Objective 3: to actively cooperate to advance the European Knowledge Society.
