Research

The research groups, associated with The Digital Society, are predominantly connected with one of the four research focus areas (DigiEd, DigiHealth, DigiTech and DigiWork). Several of the groups are interdisciplinary and consist of members from various faculties and across research focus areas. Please click on the menus below to see a complete list on our research groups and projects within The Digital Society (all research groups and projects are organized alphabetically).
