This doctoral webinar series is structured as an annual event and showcases the ground-breaking work conducted by CIVIS faculty connected to Digital and Technological Transformations (DTT).
One Friday per month we will have an online session, with speakers of different CIVIS Universities, in relation to Challenges of Digital and Technological Transformations. The series closes with a round-table discussion with all participating speakers. The focus of each annual series changes, allowing doctoral researchers and postgraduate students to participate in each edition of the webinar.
The 2023-24 edition will showcase how researchers in the 'natural' sciences use ground-breaking digital technologies and applications and how these research developments find their applications in different sectors of industry, technology and civil society. This year's edition will include four plenary sessions in which lead speakers will present their research and dialogue with a relevant stakeholder connected to the applications of their work. The webinar cycle will conclude with a round-table discussion with all participants in the webinar series.
