The CONNECT University kicked off its 2021 thematic summer school programme dedicated to Digital for our planet with a special introductory session on “A European perspective on the role of digital in accelerating the transition to a green economy”, exploring the way digitalisation can help sustainability and how digital innovation and solutions can contribute to tackle climate change. In this vein, through this event, participants had the chance of getting an in-depth understanding of the potential of digital technologies to help address the world’s most pressing climate concerns and enable the much-needed shift toward a circular economy.
