In this second Outreach Call, the Innovation Program is looking for projects that increase the visibility of DIZH activities within and outside the partner universities and advance the networking of involved and interested persons and practice partners.
For this purpose, the Innovation Program with this call type supports the communication of market-, society- or culture-related innovations in the context of digital transformation as they are supported by DIZH and the partner universities. The call is intended to contribute to explaining the benefits of such innovations to the public, to amplifying and making visible the impact of the innovative work already done at various levels, or to strengthening knowledge and critical reflection on socially relevant effects of digital transformation in defined areas outside the academic spectrum. The basic idea of the Outreach Call is both to make the impact of digital innovations visible within the framework of DIZH and to promote an engaged and critical discourse on the effects of this impact in the sense of networking across different stakeholder groups.
