Open call: Participation in Future Digileaders 2023

Future Digileaders is an event for selected early-career researchers interested in the broad area of digitalization. The event includes an intimate career workshop with talks, panels, and sincere discussions. We will cover professional development and provide opportunities to meet inspiring role models and network with each other.

This year, it will be held onsite at the Digital Futures hub in Stockholm on October 17, 2023. In this event, you will listen to the successful experience and insights, have in-depth discussions and get mentorship from established leaders – see the program for Future Digileaders.
