Update on February 23rd: the workshops are now fully booked, so check how you can get involved otherwise !
The series of three workshops aim to start forming a community of interest and increase awareness of what is already happening in digitalization and sustainability at Tampere Universities. Each workshop will follow a similar agenda consisting of brief talks related to platform themes, discussion and workshopping around selected challenges/questions. The input from earlier workshops will feed into planning the latter ones, but each works as a stand-alone event.
You are welcome to join any of the workshops, or even all of them! Just sign up at least a week in advance so we can plan the events sustainably.
You can find more information about the platform on the DigiSus website.
