NRP 77 Dialogue events: four public events in autumn 2024
NRP 77 is organising four dialogue events together with partners, where selected research results will be presented and their practical relevance discussed. All dialogue events are open to the public and free of charge.
In order to ensure the exchange of knowledge relating to digital transformation research, an in-depth exchange between researchers and practitioners is required. To promote this exchange, NRP 77 – together with partners – is organising a series of dialogue events in autumn 2024. Research results relating to three different key topics will be presented and discussed in view of their practical relevance. The events are free of charge and open to the public.
"Digital readiness of the Swiss education system" on 24 September 2024
The first dialogue event took place on the morning of 24 September. Educa and NRP 77 issued an invitation to this event to discuss the "digital readiness of the Swiss education system." Three research teams presented their results relating to digitalisation in the field of education at this half-day event.
"Digital Transformation: Challenges for Democratic Processes" on 25 October 2024
The second dialogue event on 25 October will shed light on the impact of digital transformation on democratic processes in Switzerland. Following an introduction by Federal Chancellor Viktor Rossi, four research teams will present their findings. Selected practitioners will then respond to the results.

The third dialogue event will take place on 5 November and will focus on the digital transformation and its impact on the labour market and will take place with the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) acting as presenting partner. Firstly, researchers from four research teams will present their findings. In subsequent breakout sessions, practitioners, researchers and the audience will have the opportunity to enter into dialogue with each other and exchange views on the research results.

"Regulation of AI: risks, rights and responsibilities" on 26 November 2024
The fourth and final dialogue event will focus on the topic of ‘Regulation of AI: risks, rights and responsibilities’. The event will take place on 26 November and is being held in cooperation with the Federal Office of Justice. Selected research teams will present their research findings on the consequences of AI for regulation and legal practice. In the subsequent joint discussion round, practitioners will categorise the research results before the discussion round is opened to everyone. We invite you to take part in these important discussions.
