HAW Hamburg's digitalisation strategy – action areas
In its digitalisation strategy, HAW Hamburg concentrates on three strategic areas of action. These build on and are interlinked with one another. They are directed both inwards and outwards and reflect the university's holistic understanding of and approach to digitalisation:
- Action area 1: Internal digitalisation at HAW Hamburg
- Action area 2: Discourse in the digital transformation – Dialogue with and for the public
- Action area 3: Networking in the digital transformation – regionally, nationally and internationally
Action area 1: Internal digitalisation at HAW Hamburg
................................................................................................................................................................................................
HAW Hamburg aims to train students for the digital transformation, to create an innovative campus for various target groups and to be an attractive employer. As a first step, this requires comprehensive and continued internal development that encompasses all of the university's core tasks and areas: teaching and studies, research, professional development, study organisation, administration and IT infrastructure/services.
In action area 1, HAW Hamburg's goal is therefore to generate the necessary university-internal conditions for the further development of the university as part of the digital transformation and for strengthening students' and employees' abilities to shape the digital cultural transformation.
This area of action is therefore a central element of the development process. It is the prerequisite for the subsequent and successive development entailed in the second and third areas of action.
Action area 2: Discourse in the digital transformation
................................................................................................................................................................................................
As an active partner in supporting dialogue and competence, HAW Hamburg views the exchange of ideas and discourse regarding issues and questions surrounding the digital transformation as particularly important. Through action area 2, the university is strengthening and developing interdisciplinary dialogue and discourse on the digitial transformation, both at HAW Hamburg and with the public. HAW Hamburg is developing permanent platforms for discussion and information exchange to this end.
Action area 3: Networking in the digital transformation
................................................................................................................................................................................................
As a university dedicated to open science as a contribution to societal and economic development, HAW Hamburg strives to promote networking and knowledge/skills transfer as part of the digital transformation.
More than ever before, HAW Hamburg is contributing its expertise on digitalisation questions and issues to society, business and politics. Together with its partners in these areas it is developing solutions to the challenges of the digital transformation. With its know-how, HAW Hamburg is also stimulating innovation.
