Descrizione del progetto
Comprendere e colmare il divario digitale
La pandemia di COVID-19 ha posto l’accento sulla digitalizzazione come fattore abilitante per lo Stato e la società, oltre che per gli individui. Durante le misure di confinamento per contenere la diffusione del virus, sono state le tecnologie digitali a consentire il telelavoro e le attività e transazioni finanziarie online per sostenere il funzionamento dell’economia e della società. Le applicazioni digitali hanno anche permesso di tracciare la diffusione del virus e di accelerare la ricerca di farmaci e vaccini. Tuttavia, la pandemia ha anche messo in luce il divario digitale. Il progetto ODDEA, finanziato nell’ambito del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, studierà la digitalizzazione nell’UE, in Montenegro e nei paesi in via di sviluppo del sud-est asiatico (Indonesia, Malesia e Thailandia). L’obiettivo è stabilire una collaborazione di ricerca nel campo della digitalizzazione.
Obiettivo
Digitalization has been in the epicenter of interest during the hard times of COVID-19 and has enabled governments and individuals to cope with the scientific and socio-economic problems created by the pandemic. Both, basic and advanced digital technologies, as well as digital skills have been engaged to sustain the functioning of the economy and society by allowing the work to continue, tracking the spread of the virus, and accelerating research for medications and vaccines. COVID-19 pandemic has shown, more than anything else, the utmost importance of digital assets and the need for further development towards a resilient digital transformation. Strengthening the digital economy and society has been one of the 6 strategic priorities of the 2021 European Commission work programme with a goal of making this Europe’s digital decade. Digitalization is the relevant issue in EU associated countries as well. Digital transformation might help EU associated countries to speed up convergence project and catch up developed EU economies. Even particularly topical problem is digitalization in developing countries. The digital transformation and its support would lead to higher economic growth and, sustainable development and the increasing of the quality of life.
The proposed project is as timely as ever considering the current situation of digitalization in the EU, EU associated countries (Montenegro) and developing countries in Southeast Asia region (Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand). The focus of the project is the cooperation of the academic staff and doctoral students to engage in the research in the field of digitalization, exchange their knowledge, ideas, and provide meaningful outputs and establish research collaboration in the field of digitalization.
