Digital Futures Fund
With the Digital Futures Fund for Research & Development (DFF for R&D) ZHAW digital supports research and development projects that respond to immediate challenges in the field of digital transformation with rapidly realizable measures. By digital transformation, we understand the far-reaching influence of digitalization on individuals, our university, and society. The DFF for R&D is a low-threshold funding programme for ZHAW researchers. All project leaders are automatically accepted into the digital community “Digital Futures Lab”. This enables them to network and exchange ideas on specific topics with the community members.
