In the continuing education course "Digitalization and Sustainability", you learn how to use the potential of digitalization to promote sustainable development while minimizing negative environmental impacts through the use of digital technologies. You acquire knowledge about important terms and basic prerequisites of sustainable digitalization and how companies can implement them effectively. A central component of the continuing education course is the analysis of advantages and disadvantages that the interplay of digitalization and sustainability brings, such as the efficiency increase of business processes and transparency through digitalization, but also the hidden energy demand of cloud systems and data centers.
The continuing education course teaches practice-proven best practices and innovative solution approaches from various industries and company sizes. This strengthens your ability to develop individual solution approaches for your own organizations and communicate them successfully. Interested participants should bring an interest in the topics of digitalization and sustainability and the motivation to critically examine and optimize their digital business processes with regard to sustainability.
Another advantage of this continuing education course is the strengthening of the network that brings responsibility into the digital sphere and advocates for higher standards. You learn how to use tools, such as a Machine Learning Emission Calculator, to influence the sustainability of your digital processes and how to communicate these initiatives to all relevant stakeholder groups.
An additional plus of the continuing education course is earning the certificate in the form of Open Badges, which serve as recognized digital certificates of participation and officially confirm the newly acquired knowledge and skills.
The continuing education course offers significant added value for digitalization officers, sustainability managers, project managers, and anyone who wants to reduce their digital footprint. It helps you understand why the combination of digitalization and sustainability is essential and how it can contribute to promoting sustainable development.
