A central driver of digital transformation is the collaboration of different disciplines. This requires a broad network - such as the one Nicole Gerber has built. Her network is based on engagement in several initiatives and interdisciplinary projects at ZHAW, as well as membership in the ZHAW Digital Health Lab and the Health Research Hub. This benefits not only Nicole Gerber's research projects and teaching activities but also the community. Nicole Gerber has sparked important discussions and initiated workshops aimed at promoting interdisciplinary collaboration at ZHAW. Through her dedication, she has contributed to knowledge transformation within the community and advanced networking between different initiatives and labs.

The digital transformation at universities is in full swing and Claudia Ambauen is playing a key role in it. As Head of Development and Services, she has been at the forefront of the ZHAW since 2018. Together with her team, she is situated at the interface of various administrative processes. Ambauen oversees milestone projects such as the (further) development of digital tools, e.g. the tools for contract management, activity management and digital signatures. She also brings her expertise and commitment on the topic of "Transforming Work@ZHAW" to the community. "I propose that we at ZHAW rethink our own processes and ways of working and make good use of digitalization," she says. She is particularly keen to get all employees on board. Because: "Together, we can achieve things that would otherwise be impossible or very difficult to do.”

Describing Thilo Stadelmann's impact in the field of digital transformation in just under 100 words is almost impossible. He is especially renowned in the field of AI and since 2021 the director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence (CAI) at the ZHAW. There, he is driving forward promising projects concerning pattern recognition and image processing, while at the same time working to build up the digital ecosystem at ZHAW and in Switzerland. Back in 2013, for example, he co-founded one of the first Data Science Labs in Europe, the ZHAW Datalab. In addition to his activities as a professor, researcher and director, he is a member of numerous networks and the co-founder for example of the data innovation alliance.
