WALLENBERG DIGITAL INNOVATION PROGRAM


The Swedish Center for Digital Innovation (SCDI) hosts the Wallenberg Digital Innovation Program (WDIP). The program is designed to increase the impact of high-level research in digital innovation and transformation, enhancing the digital capabilities of primarily Swedish organizations.

During 2021, the program has afforded SCDI to instigate a Post-doc initiative. The initiative involves nine new post-docs evenly distributed between the different nodes of SCDI. The objective is to increase the integrative capabilities of SCDI and enhance synergies between the excellent research conducted in each node.

The program is executed in close collaboration with Rise, Research Institutes of Sweden, through activities related to outreach and increased scholarly excellence.

As a first initiative, we created SCDI Wallenberg seminar series. The seminars invites international leaders within research to share recent findings to both industry and academia. In parallel with this, we are also spearheading a series of conferences aimed at closing the gap between research and practice, as well as taking further steps in optimizing research utilization through digital innovation.
