Partnership Programme

The Industrial and Societal Partnership Programme (ISPP) is established through a partnership agreement between the founding entities of Digital Futures and industrial or societal partners. Within Digital Futures the ISPP manifests through the Industrial and Societal Board (ISB). All industrial or societal partners are represented on this board.

The ISB pursues the ISPP goals by maintaining the ISPP strategic roadmap, maintaining its own budget and suggesting joint activities to the Governing Board for co-funding. The ISB is supported by the Industrial Committee (IC) as well as the Societal Committee (SC) where stakeholders meet more regularly for coordination, also with respect to Digital Futures Faculty.

The Task Groups are created around specific topics on digital transformation. The Task Groups will propose project ideas, identify companies and organizations with common interests and shape project proposals, generating knowledge in critical areas together with relevant partners.
