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.

Selected applicants will be invited to attend the event physically at Digital Futures in Stockholm, with travel and accommodation covered. We especially welcome participants from diverse backgrounds and look forward to seeing many women applicants.

Future Digileaders is a part of Digitalize in Stockholm 2023, an annual conference and meeting place for global thought leaders and rising stars engaged in transformation through digitalization in academia, industry, government and civil society held on October 18 and 19, 2023. The Digileaders will also be able to take an active role in the Digitalize in Stockholm conference, promoting interactions with researchers and industry players.
