Academic Forum on Digital Impact
27.08.2026 13:00 – 28.08.2026 18:00
This event is organized by the Geneva Research Lab for Digital Impact (GRL), with Prof. Dr. Tina C. Ambos (University of Geneva) and Prof. Dr. Vivianna Fang He (University College London).
Advancing Digital Impact across Systems and Scales: AI-Enabled Acceleration, Governance, and Collaborative Dynamics
The Academic Forum on Digital Impact brings together scholars and practitioner–researchers to examine how large-scale initiatives, such as global school connectivity, can design and leverage socio-technical systems, generate credible evidence, and organise effective cross-sector collaboration to accelerate inclusive digital impact. Despite substantial investments in digital infrastructure, significant challenges persist in understanding how digital inclusion translates into measurable social, economic, educational, and health impacts, and how such outcomes can be rigorously assessed and scaled.
Conceived as a focused convening of approximately 40–50 participants, the Forum prioritizes in-depth exchange, collective learning, and sustained interdisciplinary dialogue. It welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions addressing the enablers, pathways, and outcomes of digital connectivity.
Please note that the event is only open to those who receive invitations to present their papers at the conference after submitting their abstracts
