- gain insights into the joys and struggles of becoming and being faculty and awareness of a broad range of career paths and strategies one can choose from
- have shaped values and practices that should be promoted in a good research environment
- establish new connections to research and industry leaders and a network of international peers
- understand the potential of digitalization research in a broader societal context, a peek into different areas of digitalization research, and knowledge about state-of-the-art research challenges and advancements.
