New knowledge on digitalisation,
culture and society
The research school aims to provide theoretical frameworks on the role of technology in society such as science and technology studies (STS), posthumanism, philosophies of science, and frameworks on the politics of technologies. The Research School will build capacity on new digital methodologies, such as digital ethnography, visual ethnography, digital narratives, and big data analysis.
“The objective is to produce critical and theory-sensitive knowledge on the relationship between digitalization and societal changes.”
- Marit Haldar, Professor and director of The Research Centre for Digitalization of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC) at OsloMet.

Training & Research
DIGITs two-year program consists of joint seminars, academic courses, writing workshops, communication and management training, and network- and secondment opportunities. The academic training is organized in four thematic clusters: Digitalization and working life, Digitalization, security and privacy, Digitalization, service provision and public administration, and Digitalization, governance and democracy.
Digitalization and working life
How do digitalization and technological developments change job demand, job quality and working life?
Digitalization, security and privacy
How do machine learning and associative tools change social and political processes and interact with predictive politics and risk assessment tools?
Digitalization, service provision and public administration
How does digitization promote both new types of services and new types of service users?
Digitalization, governance and democracy
How does the digitization of the public sphere transform the production and dissemination of information?
Facilitating dialogue and collaboration
DIGIT consists of seven Norwegian universities, one research institute and six partners outside the research sector. The academic partners have developed high-level expertise in their individual fields of research areas. The stakeholders will help identify research questions and knowledge gaps, discuss explanations and interpretations, and develop new courses and ways of innovating. The Research School is hosted by The Research Centre for Digitalization of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC) at OsloMet.
