Digital Futures – one year anniversary today!

Dear friends at Digital Futures,

Time flies when you have fun! One year has already passed since we inaugurated Digital Futures on 1 October 2020 and it’s exciting to see the progress Digital Futures has made with your efforts. We should be proud of what we have achieved together.

It’s been an intensive build-up period with a project portfolio that has grown considerably. Today more than 60 research projects are carried out in various constellations by about 150 research groups – an enormous collaborative effort. A lot of other activities are also going on at Digital Futures – seminars, lectures, curtain talks and workshops, and of course the preparation for Future Digileaders and our annual event Digitalize in Stockholm 2021. The line-up of keynote speakers, partner panels, and research presentations is amazing.

And soon the Industrial and Societal Partnership Programme is to be officially launched.

As restrictions to meet and greet are now lifted I encourage you to visit our Digital Futures hub – it’s a great place to organise a meeting, workshop, or just drop by for a good cup of coffee, have an informal chat and expand your network!

Looking forward to seeing you at Digitalize in Stockholm on 20-21 October! If you did not yet register – do it now! You find all you need to know about Digitalize in Stockholm 2021 PROGRAM and how to REGISTER here. The event is ONLINE and FREE-OF-CHARGE!

Karl H Johansson, Director Digital Futures
