* 1ST INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION *

15-16 February, 2022

Linneaus University, Växjö, Sweden

Organizers: Marcelo Milrad, Anita Mirijamdotter, Soumitra Chowdhury, 
Johan Vaide, Erdelina Kurti, & Helena Belfrage

The International Symposium on Digital Transformation aims to contribute 
to the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment: Digital Transformations. The 
knowledge environment works interdisciplinary and connects subjects, 
departments and faculties to take a versatile approach to societal 
challenges in various areas affected by digitalization. The aim with 
this symposium is to invite researchers from all over the world whose 
research is about societal, cultural, economic and/or political 
transformations enabled by digital technologies. The researchers include 
both seniors and doctoral students. We also invite practitioners who 
work with both technical and non-technical aspects of digital 
transformation. Keynote speakers who have done a significant amount of 
work in digital transformation will be invited.

The symposium will be held both online and on-campus.

SYMPOSIUM SCOPE & OBJECTIVE

Digital transformation has triggered innovation in the society and 
businesses. We can see endeavours of introducing driverless public 
transports in cities around the globe as well as the applications of 
electronic patient records in healthcare. Businesses such as Airbnb and 
Lyft, as well as traditional manufacturing firms such as Volvo and 
Rolls-Royce all have one thing in common: novel use of digital 
technology. Both Volvo and Rolls-Royce combine digital and physical 
components to develop innovative digital services tied to the use of 
their products. Digital components such as sensors, data storage, 
analysis software and 4G connectivity as well as social media have 
enabled transformation in education, social interactions, healthcare, 
etc. Despite the abundance of examples of digital transformation in our 
society and industry, there is still a lack of cohesive understanding of 
what digital transformation entails. One major challenge is to envision 
what innovations digital technologies bring to the society and 
businesses in the future.

The symposium invites international researchers and practitioners in 
related disciplines to Digital Transformation to present, discuss and 
demonstrate different possibilities, current efforts and upcoming trends 
in this emerging field.

Main symposium themes:

- Cases of digital transformation: Digital transformation is certainly 
happening at various levels of our society and businesses. We need to 
investigate interesting cases of the phenomenon.

- Creating a liaison between academia, public and private sectors: Since 
DT is taking place in our society, governmental authorities such as 
municipalities and other public administration bodies will be benefited 
from scientific research in DT with the development of new approaches 
for DT or the design of digital services. This research can be done in 
collaboration between academia and private sectors since private sectors 
are already ahead in DT initiatives and academic researchers can help 
with scientific knowledge on DT.

- Combining methodologies and approaches from different disciplines: 
tools: Special emphasis should be given to methodological issues of 
cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Symposium tracks:

- Track 1: Digital business

- Track 2: Digital learning/digitalization of education

- Track 3: E-health

- Track 4: Digital humanities

- Track 5: Ethical implications of digitalization

- Track 6: Digital working life
