Open Research Day is all about research, people and community!

On 21 April Digital Futures kicked off its first Open Research Day also including the launch of the Industrial & Societal Partnership Program (ISPP) welcoming the City of Stockholm, Region Stockholm, Ericsson, Scania and Skanska as new partners. The hybrid event, held at the Digital Futures hub, gathered some 150 participants – onsite and online.
