Launch Event DigiSoc

On Tuesday 26 October 2021, we officially launched the KU Leuven Digital Society Institute (DigiSoc) with a hybrid event.

The offline part of the event took place at the Thermotechnisch Instituut in Heverlee (Leuven, Belgium), a beautiful example of industrial academic cultural heritage.

Below the recording of the event you can find the full program where you can download the presentations from each speaker. While the lectures are given by renowned experts in fields related to the themes studied at DigiSoc, the poster videos at the end of the lectures (last ten minutes of the recording) offer a small sample of the wide range of research activities that are currently happening at the institute in its various Working Groups (WGs).

Read more on the event page on the website of KU Leuven. At the end of the page you will find the link to a picture gallery with photos taken by Emilie Bossens. Watch Jef Hooyberghs' presentation on A citizen-driven ecosystem for personal health data from minute 10 in the video on that page.
