“Communication is everything, a postulate that brought together a wide range of studies and research in various fields of social sciences and humanities two decades ago. Later on, a Canadian researcher, Marshall McLuhan, told us that ‘the medium is the message,’ somehow anticipating what we now call the ‘era of digitalization.’ The internet is everywhere, digitally connecting the world, and we can say that we are digital because we have the privilege of being contemporaries with the usefulness of digitalization. However, we also know that we need new skills in this fantastic and concrete challenge of digitalization. We enthusiastically acknowledge the need for more young specialists in digitization, and we are extremely pleased to be part of this story called Digital Challenge 2023!” said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Andy Pusca, President of Danubius University. Several examples of projects that can be approached in the fields of programming, 3D design, and aeromodelling within the theme of the year 2023 – “Digital Innovation for a Sustainable Future” will be presented on the project’s website www.digitalchallenge.ro.
The European Academy of Regions is supporting the “Digital Challenge” project and will contribute to its promotion, roll-out and dissemination of the main findings and recommendations within the Academy’s network.
