About
Future Digileaders is an event for selected early career researchers interested in the broad area of digitalization, and who identify as women or are non-binary. The event consists of an intimate career workshop with talks, panels, and sincere discussions. We will cover professional development, and provide opportunities to meet inspiring role models and to network with each other. This year, it will be held online on October 18, 2022.
The event is a part of the Digitalize in Stockholm, an annual conference and meeting place for global thought leaders and rising stars engaged in transformation through digitalization in academia, industry, government and civil society held on October 19 and 20, 2022 as a hybrid event. The Digileaders will also have the opportunity to take an active role in the Digitalize in Stockholm conference, promoting interactions with researchers and industry players.
After these events, we expect that the Future Digileaders will:
- gain insights into the joys and struggles of becoming and being faculty, and awareness of a broad range of career paths and strategies one can choose from
- have shaped values and practices that should be promoted in a good research environment
- establish new connections to research and industry leaders, and a network of international peers
- understand the potential of digitalization research in a broader societal context, a peek into different areas of digitalization research, as well as knowledge about state-of-the-art research challenges and advancements.
Further career networking opportunities
Participants will be invited to visit the Digital Futures cross-disciplinary research center in Stockholm, Sweden. The program will include research visits to KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University and the Research Institute of Sweden (RISE), as well as excursions to industry to further establish networking opportunities in Stockholm.
