DIGITAL COLLABORATION AND COEXISTENCE
We live in a world where we have undergone a digital transformation in most areas of society and economies. Our social and business interactions have become data intensive, algorithms augment humans in most areas and our cities, homes and devices have developed previously incomprehensible levels of autonomy. The world, however, is challenged. Climate is changing, peace is threatened, economies are shifting. As a result, differences are growing and entirely new challenges for the design, implementation and evaluation of information systems are emerging. This requires a stronger focus, academically and in practice, on global governance frameworks, strategies and policies that are responsible, sustainable and value-generating. But how do we learn to collaborate and coexist in a hyper-connected, opportunity-rich micro-world embedded in a globally challenged macro-world? Approaching the opportunities and challenges of coexistence with evidence-based research means dealing with complex, often wicked problems that single disciplines, and science overall, cannot sufficiently address on their own.
