Digitalization is bringing about rapid changes in our working world. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that we must – and can – transform the way we work and behave. These changes will not only affect technical processes, but also individual employees, organizations, and our society as a whole.
What opportunities and risks can a more flexible and digital academic working world offer? Young researchers’ requests must be particularly favored since they play a crucial role in shaping future society. But this transformation process also requires perspectives to be developed for all other groups of employees too.
RWTH invites renowned representatives from academia and industry to share their ideas on the future of work. The challenges for staff development in science and academia are a key focus of the event.
The symposium is scheduled to take place on RWTH Aachen Campus atCT2 – Center for Teaching and Training, offering both online and classroom formats. A limited number of people are allowed to participate on site. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will be livestreamed for all conference participants. To make it possible for everyone to contribute to the event after the presentations and during the panel discussions, opportunities for online interaction will be provided.
