Research Group
Compliant and Accountable Systems Research Group
The Compliant and Accountable Systems Research Group (CompAcctSys) focuses on improving the governance of emerging technologies.
We take a multi-disciplinary approach—combining technical, legal, policy, social, and user-centred perspectives—to support more appropriate, secure, safe, accountable, and socially responsible socio-technical systems.
The group is part of RC-Trust, UA Ruhr, a German research institute dedicated to trust and AI research, with team members based across the University of Duisburg-Essen and the University of Cambridge.
