DIGIT - Norwegian Research School on Digitalization, Culture and Society

DIGIT's programme includes a blend of joint seminars, specialized academic courses, interactive workshops, secondments, and extensive networking opportunities. The school represents a collaborative effort among seven Norwegian universities, one research institute, and six partners from both the public and private sectors.

The primary objective of DIGIT is to foster professional development among the next generation of researchers and entrepreneurs, particularly at the intersections between digitalization, culture, and society. By doing so, DIGIT equips participants to drive innovation and sustainability in their future roles across both the private and public sectors. The program is selective, accepting only a limited number of top-qualified PhD students and postdoctoral fellows from Norwegian institutions annually until 2028. Most of our participants have backgrounds from the social sciences and humanities.

Participants in the DIGIT program can look forward to a rich, engaging two-year experience that includes access to joint seminars, PhD-level courses, writing workshops, as well as communication and management training. Additionally, the program offers valuable networking events and secondment opportunities, all provided free of charge to foster a vibrant learning community and facilitate the personal and professional growth of its members.

The SVT is a partner in DIGIT via our Professor Kjetil Rommetveit, who is also on DIGIT's board (external link). He researches the governance of digital technologies and innovation, with a particular emphasis on legal, ethical and political issues.
