Hub 5 - Digital and Technological transformation Hub 5 - Digital and Technological transformation ================================================== Introduction ------------- Digital and technological transformations are a central feature of social contemporary processes and are unfolding at historically unprecedented speed, at global scope and at a time in which Europe and the world face critical challenges. It is part of the CIVIS mission to actively participate in the conversation that shapes the response to these challenges and the work of Hub 5 - Digital and Technological Transformations (DTT) - aims to play a leading role in **how higher education institutions define their own role for the future, as well as solutions to our changing world.** Hub 5 produces **coherent educational streams and academic outputs** that explore the implementation of digital technologies in different areas of life (work, commerce, education, governance, etc.). It will also help deepen our understanding of how digital technologies are incorporated into cultural processes and transformations, including creative work, communication, social relations or our unfolding life-course. The Hub also maintains a "critical and ethical gaze" on the social impact of digital technologies and transformations in society, monitoring how digital technologies impact on personal liberties, civil rights, lead to new inequalities or pose challenges to tolerance and conviviality. **Hub 5 is eminently transversal and interdisciplinary** and academics connected to the Hub come from a wide variety of backgrounds. It includes researchers from computer and data sciences, engineering, mathematics and other natural sciences. Yet, it also includes academics from the social sciences and humanities, such as sociology, psychology, education, communication, philosophy or law. Activities ----------- Hub 5 was launched in October 2022 and is developing an educational strategy focused on modular (micro-programmes and micro-credentials). This should facilitate that all students and members of the CIVIS community can have access to a basic understanding of digitalisation processes and technological transformations, irrespective of their disciplinary background and course of studies.
