Projects - Initiatives - Publications
How is the Corona pandemic changing our working environment? What impact does it have on our society? These and other questions are currently being addressed by professors at the Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF). As an interdisciplinary center for digitization research, we see ourselves as challenged to research the corona pandemic and its effects. We offer an overview of current projects, initiatives, events and publications. The list is updated continuously.
