THE DIGITAL SOCIETY INITIATIVE (DSI)
What questions about digitalization are on your mind? And how has your life changed with the digital transformation? Digitalization is presenting society and science with new challenges. It is taking hold of a large part of our lives at an ever faster pace.
The Digital Society Initiative (DSI) shapes the digital transformation of society and science. With interdisciplinary activities in research, education and outreach, the DSI is the University of Zurich’s (UZH) competence center on digital transformation.
The DSI is a scientific institution supported by all faculties of the UZH, which promotes independent scientific reflection and innovation on questions of digital transformation. It prepares UZH students to help shape the digital transformation, engages in regular discourse with the public and supports policy-making on digital transformation issues.
DSI Community Digital Humanities
We envision a thriving Digital Humanities community at UZH that bridges disciplines, advances computational methods in arts and humanities, and strengthens research and teaching through collaboration, innovation, and shared digital expertise.
The DSI Communitiy Digital Humanities, founded in 2024, aims to address the growing interest in computational methods and AI in arts and humanities research. It unites researchers and educators at the University of Zurich (UZH) and beyond, addressing the current lack of a dedicated digital humanities unit at UZH. It serves as a platform for collaboration, offering workshops and seminars, supporting digital skills, and fostering knowledge exchange. Members present their work, receive feedback, and connect with those sharing similar interests, advancing future research and teaching in the field.
