Professor Presentations in HS 2025

As part of the Excellence Programme, the Professor Presentations (embedded in the module ‘Digital Transformation – a Scientific Overview’ starting in the 2025 autumn semester) provide an insightful overview of DSI-related research at UZH. The overview is developed using exemplary topics of current relevance.

The audience consists of students from the Master's programme DSI Minor/LAO Digital Skills and participants in the Excellence Programme, but other interested doctoral students, DSI Fellows and other interested persons from UZH are also welcome to attend.

The lectures will be held in English and take place every Monday from 2:00 to 2:45 p.m. in the DSI rooms (Rämistrasse 69, 8001 ZH, SOC-E-010). This will be followed by group work by the Master's students and individual work on their own learning journals. Attendance at the group work and work on the learning journal are not mandatory

Participants in the DSI Excellence Programme must attend 5 of the 9 lectures listed below and document them independently.
