“Playful work”, combating forced marriage or education for the 60+ generation: the 18 applications approved in the 2nd project call in the innovation program of the Digitalization Initiative of the Zurich Higher Education Institutions (DIZH) use technologies and develop innovative applications to address human needs and values. With funding of CHF 4 million from the special credit, which is co-financed equally by the DIZH universities in a “matching funds” principle, DIZH enables exchanges between different perspectives and supports close collaboration between research and practice.

ZHdK is involved in twelve of the eighteen funded projects. These were selected in a competitive process and will now receive up to CHF 300,000 in funding from a special DIZH credit.

“More applications from the social, artistic, pedagogical and humanities fields were submitted for the 2nd Project Call. Cross-disciplinary and cross-university collaboration has become established, and in dialogue with different practice partners, novel questions have emerged whose implementation we are eagerly following,” says Dirk Wilhelm, chair of the DIZH Innovation Panel and director of the ZHAW School of Engineering.

More details about the successful projects can be found on the DIZH website.
