Navigating responsibility and digital transformation - Scientific symposium

Our anniversary symposium on 11/28/2024

The scientific symposium is an international event. The entire event will be held in English.

Meet us. Meet excellence. Meet future: Navigating responsibility and digital transformation

Under the motto “Meet us. Meet excellence. Meet future: Navigating responsibility and digital transformation”, our scientific symposium planned for November 28, 2024, starting at 1 p.m., will focus on our two cross-cutting topics ‘Digital Transformation’ and ‘Legitimacy & Responsibility’ and discuss important implications and issues in relation to our five cluster topics.

Whether sustainable reporting, political preferences in the financial sector, women and artificial intelligence, effective product recall management despite safety concerns or the changing role of data in companies - participants can expect an exciting mix of impulses and discussions on each of our cluster topics.

However, the focus is not only on the exchange of knowledge; the subsequent reception with drinks and finger food will also provide networking opportunities for the participants.
