Apéro Digital: Event Series
Description
In the midst of societal digital transformation, post-pandemic economic recovery, and geopolitical tensions around the globe, the need for a carefully curated space for deliberation and networking presents unprecedented urgency. Against this backdrop, we propose the creation of an intellectually stimulating and socially connected space – Apéro Digital, an event series that holds promises for generating new ideas and fostering new forms of collaborations across the DIZH community and beyond.
The initiative is conceived as bi-monthly in-person gatherings in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere that is composed of public talks, peer exchanges, cross-sectoral interactions, and networking over Apéro Riche. Each event of the series will be organized around a topic related to digital transformation, human-centered tech research, and value-based innovation, and be catered for a wide scope of audiences with multiple expertise and diverse perspectives.
