We will explore why research in the digital world is fundamentally different and what that means for the future of research. This session will offer insights especially for early career researchers into their future challenges and opportunities and will show ways in which they can join the Digital Transformation community.

And we are absolutely delighted that we will be joined live at the Hybrid Studio at Adastral Park by:

Day 2

With incredible activities around digital transformation happening all over the world, we ask the questions: What are the big impact opportunities where we can really make a difference? What are the barriers for big companies to make progress? Where does Digit Lab come in? And again this session will offer opportunities especially for practitioners who deal with large amounts of data to join the Digital Transformation community.
