<p><span style="font-size:12pt">Dear all,</span><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The department of Informatics at Linnaeus University, Sweden is organizing an international symposium on digital transformation. Please consider to submit a 2-page abstract. The best abstracts will be invited for submissions as full papers. The deadline
is January 15, 2022. All details can be found here <a href="https://lnu.se/en/isdt2022" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk38841" previewremoved="true">https://lnu.se/en/isdt2022</a></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt">The symposium invites international researchers and practitioners in related disciplines to digital transformation to present, discuss and demonstrate different possibilities, current efforts and upcoming trends in this emerging
field. We will have interesting presentations as well as exciting keynote speeches from practitioners and renowned academics.</span><br>
</p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span><b>Main themes of the symposium</b></span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span><u>Defining Digital Transformation</u>: Although “Digital transformation” (DT) is widely used, a definition of the term is still unclear. It is certainly happening at various levels of our society and businesses and we need to define the phenomenon. </span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span><u style="">Creating a liaison between academia, public and private sectors</u>: Since DT is taking place in our society, governmental authorities such as municipalities and other public administration bodies will be benefited from scientific research
in DT with the development of new approaches for DT or the design of digital services. This research can be done in collaboration between academia and private sectors since private sectors are already ahead in DT initiatives and academic researchers can help
with scientific knowledge on DT. </span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span><u>Combining methodologies and approaches from different disciplines</u>: Special emphasis should be given to methodological issues of cross-disciplinary collaboration.</span><br>
