Title: "Twin Transition: The transformation towards sustainability and digitalization"
Responsible persons: Madeleine Buckisch
The emergence of new technologies such as communication technology, the internet of things, artificial intelligence and robotics has sparked a profound digital transformation, reshaping numerous industries. Simultaneously, the need for environmental action is increasingly emphasized in various contexts. For example, the European Union has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, whilst setting ambitious plans for substantial progress in the realm of digital transformations. The alignment of both goals, digital and sustainable transformation across all sectors of the economy, is referred to as the twin transition. Navigating these two objectives presents a complex challenge, as the pursuit of both environmental sustainability and digital advancement can create synergies but also conflicts. This bachelor seminar delves into the analysis of these transformation dynamics through the lens of the innovation systems approach. Participating students write a seminar paper on current issues in the field of the twin transition. The seminar will be held in English.
