Strategies for Digital Transformation at the University of Siegen

The guiding principle of the University of Siegen is: “Shaping a Humane Future.” This shared commitment across our entire university—guided by the overarching goals of the university administration—forms the solid foundation for our development in the digital sphere. We do not view digitalization as merely a technical issue, but rather as a university-wide task that permeates research, teaching, and administration in equal measure.

To address this complexity, we are steering the digital transformation through a comprehensive strategic framework. A central component of this is thedigitalization strategy, which defines the structural guidelines for our continued digital development.

To enable us to respond flexibly to future technological, pedagogical, and scientific developments, the framework is designed with a modular structure. The strategic framework will therefore (soon) be expanded to include a standalone AI strategy as well as additional supporting policy documents.

These strategy documents are closely interlinked and align with our shared vision: They ensure that, as a university, we responsibly harness the potential of digital transformation, promote academic excellence, and always put people at the center of all technological innovations.
