Join the DigiSus Winter Feast, where we celebrate the accomplishments of the research platform's third year and the community working on digitalisation and sustainability themes. We warmly welcome everyone who share the interest in the cross-sections of digitalization and sustainable development.
Digital and Sustainability Transitions in Society (DigiSus) research platform aims to create holistic and cross-disciplinary insights into digitalization and sustainability as societal transitions. DigiSus Winter Feast is an event dedicated to reflecting on the milestones and successes from the year 2026 and taking a look to the future.
At Winter Feast, you can connect with others interested in digitalisation and sustainability, share thoughts and insights, and ideate new research or other collaborations considering, for example, the DigiSus funding call that opens in December. Welcome!
