The DIZH Contact Point at ZHdK Grants Office is the central point of contact for ZHdK members with questions about the innovation programme of the Digitalization Initiative of the Zurich Higher Education Institutions (DIZH) and supports ZHdK applicants – together with the responsible controlling departement – in submitting projects.
The aim of the DIZH is to promote cooperation between Zurich's universities in the field of digitalization and thus to strengthen Zurich as a research and business location. The University of Zurich, the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, the Zurich University of the Arts and the Zurich University of Teacher Education are systematically networking in the DIZH to advance research and innovation in the field of digitalization using interdisciplinary approaches.
As part of its innovation programme, the DIZH promotes project-related collaboration between the universities and supports projects that use digital technologies and methods in an innovative way and aim to achieve a concrete impact in practice. ZHdK members can team up with members of the other universities and submit joint applications to the innovation programme.
