The topic of Digital Transformation has united the students of FH Dortmund and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology(NTNU) from 29.08-02.09.2022 in Trondheim, where they got a chance to participate in two streams of the ProDIT Project Pilot Teaching. 

During the Pilot Teaching two block weeks on «Managing Digital Change» and «Sustainable Digital Transformation» were organized at NTNU, Trondheim and taught by professors and lecturers from the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts FH Dortmund, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), KU Leuven and Norwegian University of Science and Technology. 

Focus of the “Sustainable Digital Transformation” block week was put on Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), while the “Managing Digital Change” block week focused on planning a project for developing a startup company with an innovative digital product/service/business model. 

The participants learnt how to qualitatively and quantitatively measure the environmental impact, what digital change is and how to manage it, how to work with the uncertainty of the change, and even got training on how to pitch their ideas before the final pitch presentation.

All the cases were provided by partners of the Erasmus+ KA2 Project “ProDiT – Projects for the Digital Transformation”.
