DigiMeet 2023 | Diversity in digital transformation

The Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt), the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) and the Weizenbaum Institute (WI) invite doctoral researchers to present their work at the newly established joint Digitalisation Research and Network Meeting – DigiMeet.


The bidt, CAIS and WI, in cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for Media Research – Hans Bredow Institute, co-organise DigiMeet, a forum for early career researchers with a focus on digitalisation-related topics. This year it will take place (virtually). Its special topic for 2023 is “Diversity in digital transformation”.
