The Launch event for the DIGIT Lab, an EPSRC Next Stage Digital Economy Centre, was held on Tuesday 21st September at 10.30am, via Zoom.

Summary:

The launch was an opportunity for the Centre’s Director, academic leads and industry guests to outline DIGIT Lab’s achievements to date, its ongoing research, the four core DIGIT Lab themes and the centre’s research questions.

DIGIT Lab is a five year programme providing research insights, knowledge frameworks and practical techniques to accelerate digital transformation in the UK. The Centre works with large established organizations (LEOs) to reimagine them for the digital age – in ways that go beyond the digitalization of current products and practices. The Centre combines active research, education and industrial co-development to tackle key issues.
