About Us
SPARK is the brainchild of Prof. Dr. Michael Messerli from the University of Zurich, Dr. Patric Raemy from the University of Fribourg, and Prof. Dr. Kevin Reuter from the University of Gothenburg. We are dedicated to teaching and researching decision-making, argumentation, biases, discrimination, digital well-being, and AI and media literacy.
Our collaboration is driven by a shared vision: to apply our understanding of these topics practically, empowering companies, organizations, and institutions to make smarter and better decisions. This vision led to the founding of SPARK.
