This conference brings together researchers and professionals to explore collaborative research methods, overcome obstacles to impactful partnerships, and tackle real-world challenges posed by the digital transition in public administration and media industries. Participants will engage in interactive workshops focused on exploring critical issues pertaining to responsible AI and data practices, sharing expertise, and inspiring new synergies between academia and the professional field.

We believe that researchers must immerse themselves in specific professional contexts where digitalization is happening. This involves diverse stakeholders with different perspectives, values, and needs. By embracing the complexity of real-life situations, researchers can collaborate effectively with practitioners and other external partners, leading to meaningful impact.
