New knowledge on digitalisation,
culture and society
“The objective is to produce critical and theory-sensitive knowledge on the relationship between digitalization and societal changes.”
- Marit Haldar, Professor and director of The Research Centre for Digitalization of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC) at OsloMet.
The research school aims to provide theoretical frameworks on the role of technology in society such as science and technology studies (STS), posthumanism, philosophies of science, and frameworks on the politics of technologies. The Research School will build capacity on new digital methodologies, such as digital ethnography, visual ethnography, digital narratives, and big data analysis.

Training & Research
DIGIT's two-year program consists of joint seminars, academic courses, writing workshops, communication and management training, as well as networking and secondment opportunities. The academic training is structured around four thematic clusters: Digitalization and Working Life; Digitalization, Security and Privacy; Digitalization, Service Provision and Public Administration; and, Digitalization, Governance and Democracy
Digitalization and Working Life
How digitalization and technological developments change job demand, job quality, and working life itself.
Digitalization, Security and Privacy
How machine learning and analytical tools reshape social and political processes, and their integration with predictive politics and risk assessment strategies.
Digitalization, Service Provision and Public Administration
How digital tools are creating new kinds of services and changing who uses them.
Digitalization, Governance and Democracy
How the digitization of the public sphere transform the production and dissemination of information.
Facilitating Dialogue and Collaboration
DIGIT consists of seven Norwegian universities, one research institute, and six external partners from outside the research sector. These academic partners have extensive expertise in their respective research domains. Together, stakeholders collaborate to pinpoint research questions and knowledge gaps, engage in dialogue over explanations and interpretations, and devise innovative courses and methodologies. The Research School is hosted by the Centre for Digitalization of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC) at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet).
