Participating Institutions
With the Institute for Information Science and Information Systems (SOWI), the Centre for Information Modelling/Digital Humanities (GEWI) and the Department of Law and IT (Basic Institute REWI), three units institutionalised at different faculties of the University of Graz with an explicit professional focus on digitisation join forces to form the core of the research network. This institutional core is supplemented by other people from SOWI, GEWI, THEO and URBI, who have already been demonstrably intensively dedicated to questions of digitisation for years within the framework of the "Platform for Information Science". The core of the research network also includes those involved in the H2020 project TRUESSEC.eu from GEWI, SOWI and REWI.
The research network is open to all persons working in their respective disciplines at the University of Graz on the challenges of the digital transformation and who want to actively shape it.
