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.

The event covered some 70 research projects with focus areas ranging from smart society, environmental sustainability and health, to digitalized industry and cyber security.

Poster session jury: Emil Björnson, Jana Tumova and Hossein Azizpour together with awarded postdocs Patrick Hammer and Deyou Zhang.

Digital Futures postdoctoral fellows presented their research in a classic poster session. The best poster award was presented to Patrick Hammer for his research on Intelligence through reasoning.

Several of the Digital Futures Scholars in Residence and Digital Futures Fellows participated in a panel moderated by Karl H Johansson, Director of Digital Futures.

The event was co-organized by Professor Yifang Ban, Head of Division Geoinformatics at KTH, Associate Director for Dissemination & Impact at Digital Futures and Johanna Gavefalk Chief Communications Officer at Digital Futures.
