What does digital transformation mean for everyday life in Switzerland?

Over the past five years, 46 project teams have explored this question as part of the National Research Programme “Digital Transformation” NRP 77.

The programme brought together research on education, governance, the economy and the labour market. The results include more than 300 publications and reports, along with 12 evidence-based recommendations for shaping digital change responsibly.

💡The main takeaway: Digitalisation is not just a technological development. It is a societal process that affects us all.
