The Digitalisation Coordinator at Leipzig University supports the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the CIO Board in all matters concerning the digitalisation of the University. Coordinating the digitalisation strategy of Leipzig University and providing advice in this regard are the Digitalisation Coordinator’s main areas of responsibility.
The digitalised society is a lived reality affecting us all. However, the expectations and requirements that the members and affiliates of our University associate with this vary greatly. This also applies to the degree of digitalisation in the various faculties, central institutions and facilities in the central administration. It is therefore important to continuously and openly exchange positions on digitalisation and digitality. The Digitalisation Coordinator will be happy to answer any questions you may have about digitalisation.
Do you have ideas or suggestions for the digital transformation of Leipzig University? Get in touch with me.
