Digitalisation

Digitalisation is transforming the ways in which we live, work (together) and communicate. At the Faculty of SCIENCE, we work closely with public organisations and the private sector to discover what types of digital knowledge and development are needed by society. The Faculty of Science’s world class research and academic programmes leave a significant imprint on Danish society by creating solutions that harness the opportunities afforded by digitalisation – in an ethically defensible manner. This includes new opportunities for transferring knowledge to society, facilitating data sharing and increasing the availability of research results through digital tools and open platforms.

SCIENCE Digitalisation Council

The SCIENCE Digitalisation Council is an advisory body set up to help exploit the many opportunities afforded by digitalisation through visionary proposals and recommendations. This work applies to research, academic programmes, career preparedness, communications and administrative operations. The Council will also contribute to ensure that the faculty makes all necessary digital investments.

The primary aim of the Council/Board is to focus on the shaping of our academic programmes to ensure that we remain at the digital forefront without losing sight of the university’s core activities: research, research-based programmes and external collaboration. The Council is composed of individuals from the private and public sectors alongside SCIENCE representatives, which includes the management and a student representative. The 12 departments at SCIENCE participate regularly in the work of the Council.
