Major Theme: Digitalization of Today and for Tomorrow

Monday 25. May, 09:15 - 13:00
Location: EL6 (View floorplan)
 
Current Trends
  • How can we formulate new value propositions to our stakeholders, and help mutate old-school business models and plans into the digitalized world, developing future products and reshaping markets?
  • How can old digital dinosaurs not stand in the way of the young digital natives – but rather guide them to a safer future?
  • What are the important issues, knowledge, capabilities that then might be lost, when they are substituted by digital formats?
Future Developments
  • Are we ready for the digital challenges, with our present mind-set, our attitudes and our disciplinary university structures? How do we shape new centers of competence in our universities addressing these challenges and options?
  • Can we proactively and responsively navigate the societal changes and steer the current dynamic technical innovations to the benefit of society?
  • How can we define and cope with the ethical responsibility resulting from the new options given by the digital revolution?
