Digitalisation at Tampere Universities
Project background and vision
Background
The goals of the Digitalisation project are aligned with the Digital Vision of Tampere Universities, which was approved by the Academic Board in 2018.
In the Digitalization project, the thesis of Digital Vision have been shaped in to six themes, under which different community-engaging projects are being grouped.
In this context, the term digitalisation refers to the reshaping of the organisational culture and practices to promote a transition towards a digital future.
