Symposium "Digital Transformation"

Smart Cities, Industrie 4. Social Media and Fake News - digital transformation affects nearly all aspects of our daily lives. Future developments can no longer be examined through any single academic discipline: only a broad, interdisciplinary approach will allow us to develop solutions and answers to the challenges posed by the increasing digitalisation of society. Following the TU Wien credo 'Technology for People', the Centre for Informatics and Society investigates developments within the intersection of society and informatics, supports research efforts across academic disciplines and facilitates an open discourse through workshops, talks and public events. International expert academics from a diverse number of fields - including social informatics, sociology, communication sciences, industry and production management, education / media pedagogy and economy - give insights into aspects of digital transformation within their disciplines. Their talks elucidate the status quo of digital transformation in their fields and provide an outlook on the challenges and opportunities for academic research and higher education, politics and society at large in the coming years. We are particularly delighted to welcome the Austrian State Secretary for Administration and Public Service, Diversity and Digitalization, Mag.
