Prof. Dr Charlotte Köhler is the new Vice President for Digitalisation

"Digitalisation affects all areas of the Viadrina - teaching, research and administration. I want to find out in which areas we are already well positioned - and where we can think ahead, expand or provide new impulses, particularly in terms of technical infrastructure, digital skills and digital exchange and collaboration," says Charlotte Köhler, describing the tasks ahead of her.

The responsibilities of the Vice President for Digitalisation include the strategic management of IT security issues, involvement in the further development of the Centre for Digital Transformation (ZDT) at Brandenburg's universities and the management of digital research data infrastructures. Another focus will be on supporting the use of artificial intelligence in teaching.
