Digital Society and Global Citizenship
Digital Society & Global Citizenship
Shaping an inclusive future through education, innovation, inclusion and responsible technology
The Digital Society & Global Citizenship hub addresses one of the most profound transformations of our time: the impact of digital technologies on individuals, communities, and societies worldwide. As digitalisation reshapes how we live, work, and interact, this hub brings together researchers, educators, and students from across the Aurora Alliance to ensure that digital progress serves humanity inclusively and ethically. We aim to contribute to SDG 9 to increase digital connectedness for everyone in the world and to SDG 4 and 10 to improve education, equality and inclusion.
Our interdisciplinary approach combines expertise in computer science, social sciences, law, ethics, and business. On the one to leverage digital technologies for business, societal impact and resilience. On the other hand to tackle critical challenges: from algorithmic bias and digital divides to privacy concerns and the responsible development of artificial intelligence. We prepare graduates to become socio-digital innovators—leaders who can design technological solutions that are not only effective but also equitable and socially responsible.
In partnership with the AURORA pioneering DIGISOC European Joint Master programme, we are building the educational infrastructure for Europe's digital future - one that empowers citizens to participate fully in democratic society and equips them with the critical thinking skills essential for navigating an increasingly connected world.
