Does the digitizing business need an academy?

Our semi­nar series was laun­ched with an expert deba­te on the chal­len­ges facing the aca­de­my in the age of acce­le­ra­ting digi­tal transformation.

Recent times have revie­wed not only the ope­ra­tion of busi­ness, but also of scien­ce. The chan­ging social reali­ty requ­ires rese­ar­chers to adapt to new con­di­tions. Whe­re sho­uld young rese­ar­chers find them­se­lves in this com­plex network? How ‑and most impor­tan­tly ‑in what are­as to sup­port young scien­ti­sts in pro­du­cing use­ful rese­arch? We alre­ady know that one of the key chal­len­ges, in the con­text of incre­asing data­ifi­ca­tion and the rise of Big Tech, is access to data that would allow us to make rese­arch more useful.

Answers to key questions rela­ted to the digi­tal reali­ty were discus­sed toge­ther with the invi­ted guests during a deba­te mode­ra­ted by Prof. Kata­rzy­na Śle­dziew­ska.
