DINAcon

The Conference for Digital Sustainability

Digital transformation is ubiquitous. How can we ensure that progressive digitalisation also generates sustainable benefits for our society? The principle of digital sustainability offers an answer to this question. Digital sustainability describes how digital knowledge assets (data, content, software) need to be created and made accessible in order to create the greatest possible benefits for society and the environment. In concrete terms, this concerns current political challenges around digitalisation in Switzerland, in innovation and research, in data protection, copyright and in technical topics such as open data.

Adfinis was part of the founding team and continues to be actively involved in the OK of DINAcon.

Pfasyl

Pfadi and Asyl

Pfasylworks to ensure that refugee children have contact with young people in their host country who are interested in them and offer them opportunities to learn about the culture, language and life. Children from different backgrounds find a place in the group, where they experience for a short time a counter-draft to their everyday life as refugees. Adfinis appreciates the work done in the area of inclusion and integration and supports the project as a sponsor.
