NETWORK
DIZH is part of a network of researchers, students and experts from our partner universities.
The “UZH Digital Society Initiative” (DSI) is a scientific institution supported by all faculties of the University of Zurich (UZH) and open to all members of the UZH. It aims to promote independent scientific reflection and innovation on issues relating to the digital society, to prepare UZH students to help shape the digital society, to engage in a continuous discourse with the public and to support political decision-making.
Do we still need banks in times of Bitcoin? How will we learn in the future? And how does the digitisation influence our daily lives? Our experts at the ZHAW address many aspects of the digital transformation and work on innovative projects in their research and teaching: a digitalised collection of Swiss dialects, reducing food waste with artificial intelligence, and a digital campus with free continuing education, to name just a few current examples.

Art, design and communication are experimental fields for a critical analysis of the possibilities of digitalization. In exploring the interaction between digitalization and the arts, researchers, teachers and students at ZHdK highlight topics of general social relevance.
Digital transformation continues to affect all areas of life and poses new challenges to science, society, and the education system. The Zurich University of Teacher Education (PH Zurich) shapes technological development while insisting on values and competencies such as creativity, critical thinking and empathy. In this sense, it continues its research and development work on innovative teaching-learning processes and contributes to digital innovations in teaching and learning.
