Do we need a digital boost? Three perspectives on digitalization.

Digitalization approached the higher education world like a wave in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. A digital environment seems to be state of the art in higher education institutions in 2022.

Speakers: Susanna Boldrino, Prof. Arthur Mettinger, Prof. Daniel Baumann, Martin Setnicka, Sandra Dohr, and Peter Stepanek.
