Navigating responsibility and digital transformation - Scientific symposium

Our anniversary symposium on 11/28/2024

The scientific symposium is an international event. The entire event will be held in English.

Meet us. Meet excellence. Meet future: Navigating responsibility and digital transformation

The scientific symposium on 28.11.2024 offers an excellent platform for interdisciplinary exchange on the ethical, social and technological challenges of digital transformation. The aim of the event is to bring together leading experts from science, industry and society to discuss strategies on how digital technologies can be designed and used responsibly.

Participants can expect a comprehensive program with keynotes from renowned scientists and exciting panel discussions. Key topics include the impact of artificial intelligence in information systems, data protection in the digital era and the role of education in technology ethics. The symposium is not only an opportunity to exchange knowledge, but also to network with all participants at the subsequent reception with drinks and finger food.

You will gain insights into the latest research and be able to discuss practical solutions. We look forward to a forum that inspires participants to help shape the future of the digital society responsibly.
