    Digital Council

    • Contact

    Since 2018, ZHdK has had an independent, interdisciplinary expert body, the Digital Council, which advises the university management on digital topics. The Digital Council further encourages the critical examination of digital opportunities available to the university; it highlights groundbreaking digital projects and promotes the exchange between university members on digital matters. The people who manage the implementation of the strategic measures initiated by the Digital Council, and those in charge of the corresponding programmes and projects, comprise the Digital Council Team.
