DIGIT’s very first seminar kicked off last Monday. Participants, partners, hosts and external contributors gathered at OsloMet’s locations for one week of lectures, round table discussions, workshops and presentations.
On the introduction day on Monday, the 27 DIGIT participants and the host institution CEDIC presented themselves before we had some inspiring lectures on navigating career transitions from academia to public sector and back again. The rest of the week was dedicated to the school’s thematic clusters. On Tuesday, we had an interesting program on digitalization and working life, where partners from LO and Spekter gave lectures on The Digital Precariat and working-life challenges, while professors and PhD member gave insights on how they investigate these challenges through their own research. We discussed these topics through roundtable discussions.
