The world is under the impression of the Corona pandemic. The lockdown made it impressively clear how digital media can help to maintain everyday life at work, at school and with friends. At the same time, we were made aware of the great untapped potential of digitalisation. What can we learn from the crisis about the future in a digital society? What can scenarios of digitalisation look like after the Corona pandemic? The CAIS Forum looks at various aspects of digitalisation in the pandemic and discusses design options for the time after. Join the discussion – digitally.

Nathanael Liminski

State Secretary and Head of the State Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia

“The Corona pandemic has provided a digitalisation boost, but it has also raised many questions about the consequences of digitalisation in all areas of life. To answer them, we need research institutes like the CAIS – and the dialogue between science and practice that the CAIS Forum offers. To ensure that no one is left behind in this rapid development, North Rhine-Westphalia also supports the provision of competence offers for all citizens with the #DigitalCheckNRW. We want to shape the digital society together.”

Isabel Pfeiffer-Poensgen

Minister for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

“Digital communication and organisational functions have rarely been more important than they are today. They make it possible to maintain our diverse social, cultural, political, economic and scientific relationships despite Corona-related limitations. Holistic digitisation research, such as that conducted at CAIS, is crucial for the success of the digital transformation. The planned establishment of the Institute for Digitisation Research will decisively strengthen the dynamic scientific monitoring of digitisation that has been successfully tested at CAIS.”
