In addition, a poster exhibition will be ongoing throughout the conference.

Digitalization is understood as a process of integration of digital technologies into individual, organizational and societal practices. Whereas digitization focuses on conversion of data into technology, digitalization refers to an overall societal transformation that is induced by the technological progress. The societal effects are inevitable, yet in need to be better understood, explained and predicted. The conference welcomes ideas that address ongoing and emerging transformations in the following social, economic, political, media, business and science domains:
⠀
• Digitizing and innovation
