Teamwork on Digital Transformation Challenges I (10SMSTS-202)

In this module, interdisciplinary questions on challenges in the field of digital transformation are addressed in various projects. Under the guidance of a researcher from the Digital Society Initiative (DSI), students work in an interdisciplinary team of around 4 people, with each team member taking on defined tasks and also contributing specific digital skills. After an innovation phase, we facilitate an exchange between each team and experts from the DSI network. The teams receive advice on digital methods and approaches as well as information on ethical, legal, social and other aspects that should be taken into account in the project. 
In the follow-up module with 6 ECTS in the spring semester, students can put their project ideas into practice.
