Digitalität@Heidelberg
Talks and workshops about our digital future
The event series Digitality@Heidelberg is the City of Heidelberg’s invitation to local people to journey into the digital world. The aim of these talks and workshops is to allay fears and develop skills in dealing with digitality.
What does digitalization actually mean? What do Google and Facebook do with our data? And how can I protect myself against cyber attacks from the digital world? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in the “Digitality@Heidelberg” series.
