The research forum with a focus on digitalisation is an administrative structure that promotes cross-disciplinary and cross-faculty research at the University of Passau. It serves as an internal network for academics keen to conduct interdisciplinary research in the field of digitalisation and offers them a space to discuss, identify and formalise their research topics and projects. This strengthens the University's research profile internally and externally, across faculties in a way that is interdisciplinary and theme-orientated. One important aspect is the involvement of early career researchers in the ongoing research at the University of Passau.
The research forum is led by a team of spokespersons. These form the steering committee.
