The aim of the Digitization Initiative (DIZH) is to promote cooperation between Zurich’s universities in the field of digitization and thus strengthen Zurich as a location for research and business. The University of Zurich (UZH), the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and the Zurich University of Teacher Education (PHZH) are systematically networking in DIZH to specifically drive research and innovation in topics related to digitization using interdisciplinary approaches.
