    Episode 23: Celebrating One Year of Teaching at German UDS

    In this episode of “From Campus to Cyber”, the Co-Presidents of the German University of Digital Science (German UDS) take you behind the scenes of a bold experiment that has become a real, accredited, fully operational university. One year after launching its first programs, German UDS has grown into an internationally recognized digital institution—with six accredited Master’s and MBA programs, a global student body, and a virtual campus used every day. In this honest and insightful conversation, Mike Friedrichsen and Christoph Meinel share: - How the vision of a fully digital university became reality - Why the German UDS was founded and what gap it fills in higher education - What worked (and what didn’t!) during the first year of live operation - How digital teaching, international cohorts, and AI-driven learning shape daily practice - What comes next: new programs, research ideas, partnerships, and the future of Europe’s digital education landscape

    Episode 22: How to Fix the Digital Gender Imbalance?

    There is a significant gender gap in the field of digital science. Women make up less than twenty percent of IT specialists globally. This needs to change: It is estimated that in Europe alone, the number of workers with advanced digital skills will need to double by 2030. More women entering the field, will fulfil this need and produce more inclusive digital technology. But why does this gender imbalance persist? And how can we support and empower women to pursue a career in digital science? Prof. Dr. Maren Borkert, professor at the German UDS and head of the research group “Digital Entrepreneurship and Management” is discussing these questions with Mike Friedrichsen.
